They still sell both types. The ShopFox is similar in design to the W&H as a dedicated molding machine. The Grizzly version is basically a 13" planer that has guides for the tables and a way to put profiled knives on the cutter head. (greatly simplified description) The former is $1700. The latter is like a grand or so.
