Regarding preference, a cabinet saw is preferrable due to the HP
availability and inherent greater stability (ie weight) which dampens
vibration allowing cleaner cuts. I bet I could tell the difference
between 5 cross cuts on wide stock with a cabinet vs contractor saws
by simply using my square.

That being said, you must also consider your capacity to support 220v
AND the amperage load of the saw. The Grizzly wants 220 with 18 amps
but a typical contractors saw is/can be 110 and probably only 15 or
less amps.

IIRC the 18 amps for the 220 comes from the 2, 110 lines and is a 9 amp draw
on each. Much less than the 15 amp on the single 110 line.
