You didn't list the Sunhill ($400 with shipping). I absolutely love
mine.
It has the single welded base (more sturdy less vibration) and
handwheels --
easy to nudge them ever so slightly to get the outfeed table to be at
the
right height relative to the blades (I've heard that can be difficult on
the
lever type models, but I've never tried it...). Replacement knives were
CHEAP -- $20 for 3. I ordered a second set for when I get my main ones
sharpened (~$13).

My 2 cents...

I ordered a Sunhill in early December. It has been on backorder ever
since. They keep telling me "next week" and at this point I think
they're just dicking me around. I'm about ready to cancel the order.
We'll see. I'll probably hang in there for another week or two and
then look elsewhere.

I don't think they are dicking you around. The same thing happened to me
last year. It's just that they wait for the next shipment and sell them all
before they even arrive (that's my impression). I imagine that's one way
they keep the cost so low and the quality good. I love mine. It was worth
the wait.
