I have been eyeing this saw vs. The Griz 1023S. From what
I have seen so far, I think I would get the green monster if I
bought one now.

Personally, I'd run as fast as I could away from any power
Craftsman-branded stuff I could these days...

There was a review of contractor saws in Fine Woodworking just a few
issues ago that seemed pretty good...I'm not interested (I've a 20 yr
old Model 66) so I don't recall the "best buy" or "favorite" but I'll
see if I can find it although you can probably find it following links
at www.taunton.com.
