Anyone else notice the steel city planer is

An exact copy of the Ridgid TP1300LS but with a helical head? I wonder us ridgid owners can order a head from them?

I saw the planer in a catalog and scrutinized it. I think they just put a new paint-job on my TP1300 and called it good!

I was thinking about the whole 'new head' idea, but I think if I invest in another planer it will be a slightly larger and much much much quieter one than a benchtop.
