Default New tool idea -- need your opinions! (Hint: one machine instead of a planer AND A jointer)

I've seen that Inca machine, and there's been a Hitachi "over-under" combo
on the market way back when.

I note a couple of things, though. Most of
the references I see (including the review you pointed out) are from about
8 years ago. The Inca is pretty tough to buy, at
least in the U.S. I did some pretty extensive Googling and finally found
one for about $2,300.

That's getting more into the pro-shop category, and
a for that money you CAN get a pretty decent jointer and planer. I'm
looking at something you might see on the shelf near stuff like DeWalt and
Makita, maybe at a Woodcraft, or in the catalog Amazon sends us all.
