I think that it is a great deal!

And I can buy your old DP if you are in Chicagoland.

Heh, I thought of that! I'll likely keep the little guy for now, it's
pretty handy for keeping on the workbench, but we'll have to see where it
ends up in time. Once I get an adjacent lower shelf built for the big guy,
I may just end up using it for all of my drill press needs (and find the
resulting increase in workbench space too handy to pass up).

Your little dp looks like a Ryobi. IIRC those have a fairly fast spindle speed which
would be useful for drilling holes with small drill bits. I'd just keep it for that sort
of work.
