I suspect they just felt secure in their niche. It was when I added up
the prices on this general type of equipment that I decided to apply
the crowbar for my ShopBot. BTW, I noticed on the SB forum
(www.talkshopbot.com) that back in October someone had advertized
their 48x96 machine for $4K, more than what the OP is looking to
spend, but still but a _lot_ more "bang for the buck".

Beside for mortise and tenon work that none of the machines mentioned
could come near, it allows doing stuff like what I posted earlier
today on ABPW under "MDF Scrap" - and makes me wish I hadn't wasted
money on router jigs, fixtures, and accessories.
