I used to have an ras but I switched to a sliding miter and a table
saw, both on fold up rolling stands. Using a ras for ripping was just
a pain.

That's what the RAS in the table alleviates (as well as having a
hefty-enough one, of course ). And in garage area, can usually work
it in the wall side and leave in place

That's what I'll do. I have a 16' floor to work with. I think, about
9' on the feed, the out end opens into the outdoors. A small table on
the RAS and ~ 7' tables on either side. How do you match heights?

I have a basement workshop about the same size (14 x 14), The ceiling is
a little low and I'm a little tall and I have to stand between joists.
Lumber went out the window and plywood was hard to handle and impossible
to cut a full sheet.

I'm excited!

rather than the roll-around
hassle of the TS and associated table(s) for it for long/sheet goods.
Ideal, of course, is both which I'm lucky enough to have and have room
for w/o moving either...
