Default Grizzly or Ryobi Planer Recommendations?

I've been looking at planers and at the low end of the price range I found
the Grizzly G0505 and the Ryobi AP1301. Does anyone have experience with
either of these planers, and if so, how do you like them? Any problem with
availability of replacement knives or other parts?

Thanks...

I've got the Ryobi AP1300. I've had it for about 2 years and have had
no problems. Changing blades is easy, it's plenty powerful and I
would buy it again. I'm not a big Ryobi fan otherwise, but read some
good reviews on this planer before buying it. I also know that the
AP10?? the original benchtop planer was a classic that many people
liked, so I took the chance and have not regretted it.
Good Luck!
