Got a 3 hp Unisaw, and had one about 20 years ago. Nice saw and have no complaints. I did get the Biesemeyer fence this time around and it is a disappointment, to say the least. I'd go for the Unifence again if I could. Very over-rated IMHO.
Same goes with the SS. They are getting a pretty penny for their saw. But my biggest gripe with it is the very idea that you can put your fingers into a saw blade without fear of ripping them to shreds. I think that is fundamentally a bad idea.
So then you go to your BS or jointer and do the same? Part of the discipline in a wood shop is to teach yourself how not to get hurt by your intellect and instincts. The SS is a fake out and I am afraid that it dulls that instinct with a false sense of security.
Sounds old fashioned? Oh well, I only have about 20 more years to go at this so you won't have to put up with this rant for a REAL long time.
Good luck on your choices; remembering that what you buy is what you got.
