Like many on this board I am wrestling with the dust collection question. Based on published reviews and comments from other members I was ready to purchase a Delta 50-760. Then I saw the 2HP canister filter models offered by various importers.
It appears that for about an additional $200 I can get a 30-40% increase in rated CFM, 25% more static pressure, and a significant reduction in DB rating. Both claim 1 micron filtering. It does require adding another 220 circuit but that is not a major obstacle.
Has anyone compared these units? I am including links to both Delta model and Grizzly, although I also looked at the Lobo site and I am certain there are others.
Thoughts?
