Default bandsaw purchase.

I have been thinking of buying a new bandsaw (still).

I really want the 16" Laguna, but I can't get myself to write a check to a
small company for a huge piece of equipment on the other side of the USA (im
in NC). What if there is a problem with it?...I don't like it..etc? Sounds
like it could be a huge PITA.

I think I am gonna get one tomorrow (order?) from Woodcraft down the street.
I am torn between the 18" Rikin (which I know Leon tried and hates) or the
18" Jet. The Jet 710750 has a 1.75 horse motor. The guy at Woodcraft says
he can order me the Jet 710751, which has 3-horses, much like the Laguna 16"
I wanted. If Laguna was down the street this would be a no brainer.

Any suggestions?
