Dave,

With that list of tools and an area of about 20X30 feet, you are in cyclone territory. Although a cyclone represents a commitment of time and money it will give you the best results. Unfortunately, there is very little objective testing under shop conditions to help you make a decision. American Woodworker magazine in 2006 did such an objective test and measured the fan curves under load (true capacity to do work) and the amount of "fine dust" that gets back to the filters (meaning it wasn't separated properly and deposited in the collection bin). The Oneida Super Dust Gorilla series and the Grizzly G44x series did well on both fan curves and separation. The comparable Penn State units did not separate fine dust well at all and the objectively measured fan curve was much lower than what the manufacturer claimed. The ClearVue cyclone was either not around or too new at the time to be included. However, consistent anecdotal evidence from satisfied users attest to exceptional power and fine dust separation. There has been no objective testing of the V-2000/3000 series and it appears to be a price driven design compromise over the Dust Gorilla series.

Mosey over to the Bill Pentz website and spend some time reading about "fine dust", fan curves and "required" static pressure in order to really clean your shop and prevent health problems. Bill has designed what is usually acknowledged as the best cyclone and ClearVue is the company that licensed his design. I looked at them all, but purchased the ClearVue. I am sure that others will chime in too.
