Oninions on:

vs

(if i get this one, i'm getting hte 52" rails on it)

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

I've not seen either in person. General does have a good reputation for the
Canada built tools, and I think it holds well for the import like this one.

The King has a 27" table versus the 23" for the General. I'd give a lot of
consideration to that, especially with a wide cross cut. The King has open
extensions and while I'm not crazy about them, the steel on the General are
not as solid.
