If you had a choice, between a powermatic 66 and a pm2000, which would you
choose and why.

I may be forced (?!?!?!) into such a decision. (yeah, that's a bit of a
drive-by).

Both are good saws, the 66 is legendary. The 2000 has more convenience and
safety features. For a hobby or at home use I seriously doubt that you will
ever benefit more from the robust build of the 66 over the 2000. If the saw
is run all day long every day for years on end the 66 would probably out
last the 2000.
I'd go the 2000.
