So yes, I expect to be happy with the Grizzly. I am just puzzling now
how to deal with a 460 pound crate.

If you have the freight forwarder offload it from the truck using
their
electric lift expect to get a serious balance due bill from them. I got
clipped for 0.50+/lb. for a load of MDF cabinet doors I ordered for a
job.
Smoked my biscuits.

I checked with Grizzly about that. They charge an extra $39. Not
pleasant,
but better than the alternatives.
Once I have it on the ground, I can strip off the crate, table and motor,
and get the weight down to 273 pounds. Still heavy, but carryable.

Chances are, "some assembly" is required, and it's already in pieces...
My guess is that the stand, table and motor are not attached to the BS..

That would save some work; but I don't think the driver would let me uncrate
it in his truck.
