Anybody have any recommendations on choosing between the Grizzly

Drum Sander?

I know that many will recommend a bigger better sander, but money
and
space dictate one of the smaller, cheaper ones.

Then really save money, go to a commercial drum sander.

Less than $30 gets a lot of tops sanded.

Good advise but I bought one last year, a 22/44 and I use it almost every
day that I am in the shop. I tend to use it much more than expected and
have only used it about 20% for what I originally bought it for.
I am currently building some upper end jewelry boxes and need "small and
precise" fitting pieces. The drum sander lets me get there quickly and
consistently.
