i want this style saw not the true cabinet, because i already have a
stand to fit, and they seem a bit lighter...

Odds are the similarities are far greater than the differences. The
General can be had (AFAIK) with their T-square, for just a wee bit
more. Many pro shops around me use General with nothing but positive
feedback. My CNC is a General, the service impeccable.

The King? I had a King bandsaw, 14" which served me very well, and way
beyond expectations considering how cheap it was. Some of their
powertools are not great, so I have heard.... the usual, bushings
where there should be bearings etc... Their plunge router was a piece
of crap.

I'd be all over the General, because I like those guys there....good
enough reason?
