I have the G1023SL and it has been a very solid performer for me. Mine
is minus the cast iron router table wing extension. I suspect the Shop
Fox is comparable to what I have now; some time ago there was
discussion about a Shop Fox model that came out and was a bit heavier
in the inner workings compared to the G1023 series. This may be that
one, I don't know. I doubt it really matters that much.

If I was buying today I'd spend a bit more and get one with a riving
knife, such as this Grizzly model (someone already referenced this in
a previous post):

The blade guard / splitter on the G1023 is typical of what was
available on table saws when that model came out. In other words, not
very good. But other more expensive saws had the same problem.

Also, make sure you really want a left tilt. There are pros and cons
for left vs. right tilt. I like the left tilt fine, but there are
inconveniences. Theres are very thorough post that you can google
search (groups.google.com) about the subject.
