I've been hoping to upgrade my bandsaw this year to something like a 14" or larger (really like the 18" jet and Rikon and SC) but this one came up in Craigslist near me (not too far anyway)

(sorry about the direct link, I'll remove it if it's not allowed in this forum).
it's a Jet 14" BS with the riser block installed and a recent poly wheel, and a few blades of unknown condition (asking $500). Seems ok in shape and price, but not great.
What to you all think? Just save up the extra for an 18" or break down and get this one? (I'm sure a 14" with risers would work for my resaw use, and 1HP should be ok for my exotic hard woods I use)
Thanks all
James
