I've seen the output from a 735. It is every bit as good, if not better
than from a 733. I've got a 733 and it does a fine job, but the 735
ALSO leaves a superb finish. Don't forget, I'm that PICKY guy who has a
very low opinion of Delta 1 1/5 HP band saws. If it isn't close to
perfect, I don't like it!

That's one reason why I was interested in a retrofit.

The four sales people stated that they unanimously thought the 733
left a better surface than the 734 and 735, due to the 733 having
higher quality, resharpenable knives, vs. the throw away knives on the
newer models.

I've never compared the two myself, and these guys had no 733's left
to sell, with both of the newer units in stock and available for sale.
It could be all baloney, but there could be something to it as well.
Only those who have used both side by side would know.
