Well i did it! I brought a MM S45N and waiting for shipping. A lot of reseasrch on all these bandsaws and also the best for the money. Well in the end the ? was do you want to buy once. My budget was about $1300 @ the begining as some of you guys know due to my last posting. But with a lot of thought and talk and reading, me and my wife looked back@ my table saw #1 and it lasted 2yrs before i up graded. Plus us with home shops dont want to be disrupted to many time. We’ll Between Laguna and MM Customer sat was the thing that put me over the top. Both saw are good though. I will give everybody a update after use.

Enjoy your new BS, Duke. The SN 45N would be my choice between the $1200 thru $1700 price range as I have scrutinized most of them. The WEG motor has a pretty good track record and the SN seems to be a solid Italian machine minus a few options that drive the price up. The built-in "rolly-around system" (integrated mobility) ..:>... will save $$ on purchasing a mobility kit separately.
Hope you got the IWF show price and a wise decision by you and the chief financial officer to upgrade before the fact and not "I wish I had...."
Regards...
SARGE..
