Feedback on Jet Planer 708529 JWP-15CS 15-Inch?

Can pick one up for about $600, looks like in good shape. Currently have a 13inch Ridgid. Obviously going to need to get some 230v in my garage but it was only a matter of time.

I have the older version of this with an open stand (back from the blue tool days) and it has been great. I don't know what the new tool comes with but mine has a triple blade (HSS) head which I have found acceptable. I will be replacing the blades soon but I have no plans for upgrading the cutterhead to a spiral or a shilix. Lots of power but make sure you have a good dust collection system as I find mine gets clogged up when really hogging off some material unless I have all the blastgates closed except for the one attached to the planer. If you have an specific questions about it feel free to ask.

I've got one that's maybe 5 years old with the vanilla paint job. Love it.
