Tks.

Several but most notably (IMHO) is 2 blade (old) vs. 3 blade (new). *I

Thanks, Daryl.
I went down to my local HD yesterday and spoke to a guy there about
the different models. Not alone did he not have a clue about the
differences, he didn't even know the current model has 3 blades and, I
suspect, didn't even know what that meant - other than thinking more
must always be better Anyway, I went ahead and bought it for
CAD299 (reduced from 499) with no interest or payments for 6 months on
my HD card.

Now I need to buy some lumber and get to planing.
