The local dealer can be an even better deal, when something isn't clear, or
hasn't been packed with the shipment, or similar. And shipping damage, if
it were to happen, is generally speaking, someone else's problem.

What I liked was being able to touch the tools, and look at the build
quality. And to schedule the whole 'bringing it home' thing.

BTW, it takes three neighbors and a portable engine hoist to get a Unisaw
out of the back of a GMC halfton pickup bed safely. And everybody got to
play with the new toys.

Have fun with your new tools.

I will... someday, anyhow. The downside to the new goodies is that I
can get them because I'm on 15-20 hours of manditory overtime a week
at work right now. Still haven't even turned the new PC691 on yet...
On the bright side- when things slow down, I'm going to have an
entirely new shop, plus another 1500 hours of sawing experience to
bring to bear in it. It'll be good.
