As I understand it, Lowes is switching over from Delta tools to
Porter-Cable tools--this process seems to be happening at different
speeds at different locales. I picked up the Delta 14" BS, as part of
my store's clearance sale, new-in-box, for $150. I may pick up the
Delta drill press (Model 17-959d) once I get my shop in order.
Woodcraft and others offer it for $579--that seems to be the "minimum
advertised price". My current electrical project is keeping me
occupied, but I'll get a DP when I need it to drill mortises.

Does your local Lowes have the 17-959 on sale? I've been thinking about
upgrading my drill press (a $100 Ryobi benchtop) to something more
substantial. If yours does, maybe mine will too. (You're in Indy, right?
I'm left of Indy about 300 miles.)

I'll definately take a look next time I'm in there.
