Default Super Shop multi-tool from Smithy

Has anyone purchased one of these machines? It's a direct competitor
for ShopSmith Mark V. I have a Mark V (still in the trial period) and
am considering the Super Shop.

This is a Ford / Chevy question. Not much difference between them except
where they are made. If a multi purpose tool like this suits you, what's
wrong with the one that you have?

The supershop is a lot heavier, twice or more weight and no doubt better built
but there is everything you can imagine "out there" available for the shopsmith.
Simply tons more. Look on eBay. For 'shopsmith' there is nine pages, or 533
items found. For 'shop smith' there are 70 item found (though some of those
are not to do with it). And for 'smithy supershop' there are zero items found
and for 'smithy super shop' there is one item found, an actual machine. I do not
use either but I know everything I've said here to be true. If that's the way you
want to work then I suggest keep what you've got there.
