I was at the Chantilly woodworking show in VA (office today so I'd have an excuse to pop over there for the afternoon ) today and stopped by the Cayce booth. Those guys are from North of Baltimore, and have been the source of a bunch of stuff, including all my Festool to date.
They had the Jet Benchtop spindle sander (JBOS-5) for $375, so I snagged one. Most places sell it for around $400 to $450 (amazon sells it for $469 ). Home depot has it online-only for $349, but with something like $60 shipping
I was drooling over the large stationary spindle sander, but just couldn't justify $850 on a sander like that. It sure was nice, though.
Also, Ridgid had a booth there. I don't recall ever seeing them at a woodworking show before. They had their spindle sander for $149. If you're local and want one, that is an unbeatable price.
Pics to follow. It's in a box in my CRV which is currently covered with sleet
