Rikon 10-340

So, I getting near pulling the trigger on a new bandsaw. Anyone got the Rikon 10-340? What do you think? Would you do it again?

I'm not sure which on the 10-340 is but I bought an 18 model a while ago and its been OK. It has some nice features like a crank to raise and lower the upper guides and a quick tensioning device. It seems to have enough power for some decent resawing and just has the overall feel of a heavier machine.

I did notice the trunnions are not super heavy duty and the blade guide access is a little difficult. Overall seems OK.

I replaced a Delta 14" with it. I think if you arn't in a hurry Woodcraft may eventuall have it on sale again for $100 bucs off.
