Default Band saws

I'm considering buying a new Bandsaw. I currently have a Delta 14", 1hp with
a twelve in. riser block. I'm thinking of the Delta 2hp 18" model 28-682.
The other saws that caught my eye are the Laguna LT16 and the LT14SE. I
don't know much about Laguna bands. If anybody has any suggestion or
comments on these saw or something similar I would appreciate it. The
reason I want a higher hp and bigger saw is for resawing.


If money is no object, get the Laguna.
If money is a concern, I'd have the Rikon and am happy with it.
Note that I primarily use the bandsaw for cutting bowl blanks.
Sometimes I throw a 1/4 inch blade on it for cutting curves. I have not
tried resawing on it, so unfortunatly I can not comment on the main
reason you want to buy it.
