Hi All: this is my first post, and I'm hoping you can help. Here in Canada I have little opportunity to review and compare the two bandsaws mentioned in the title. However, I did see the LT16 at a recent show and was impressed. I would like to know your impressions on which is the better saw - the E16 or LT16 (not the MM16 and LT16HD). I appreciate that this can be subjective. The LT16 has a 3 hp Baldor motor while the E16 has a 2.5 (make unknown); the LT16 has ceramic guides while the E16 has euro guides; the E16 has a footbreak with microswitch while a footbreak is optional on the LT16. They both weigh about the same (320 lbs), have what appear to be good trunions and cost about the same ($1,350), with shipping extra (ouch!). It is not obvious whether the ceramic guides on the LT16 come at an additional charge. Any help would be appreciated. Regards.
