Default Maple vs Beech for workbench -- does it matter?

Alex asks:

A woodworking glue--NOT contact cement--with as long an open time as you

can
get. You want to be able to finick your way around and make sure everything
lines up. I'd use Titebond Extend or a reasonable facsimile thereof.



Okay thanks for the simple clearity about the glue to use. Saw your new TS in
Sears,
do you think it was worth it?


I like it. WOrth it? That's subjective as hell for any tool. I plan to use it
for some years, I'm impressed with the construction, find it generally accurate
and easy to use, with a couple features I'd change (but I'd like to change one
or two features on just about every tool I've ever used), but is it worth the
price? Personally, I do all my Sears & J. C. Penney shopping on sales days, so
it would then be well worth the price.

Didn't someone say they got an introductory model for under 800 bucks?

But, yeah, it's worth the price.
