I have decided to get an 8" jointer and a 15" planer for my shop, and now I am trying to pick the which ones to buy.

There is a dealer nearby (Markham Industrial) who sells, delivers, sets-up, and services both Delta and General (as well as some cheaper lines such as King Canada). I will probably purchase the machinery from them.

So, now I need to decide which ones to buy.

My 8" jointer choices are between:

General International 80-200

Delta X5 37-365X

My 15" planer choices are between:

General International 30-115

Delta X5 22-780X

Please give me any information and/or opinions that will help me to choose!
