I have decided to replace my venerable old Delta 12"planer. I am
fairly close to selecting the DW735 although I haven't ruled out a
larger floor model.

You may want to check out the Delta 680 on clearance at Loews. It was
posted here that they had them for $229. That would be a hekofa buy. For a
floor model, I'd look at Wilke Machine.
