Jointer Opinions wanted

[Chris M Cook]

I really appreciate all the feedback. I pulled the trigger and recently received my new 8" parallelogram jointer. I can already say that I'm happy with the decision, because my 1st round of lumber was 7.5" wide. I rewired a 240V breaker that used to run a hot tub and installed a Armorlite drop cord. Jointer and power problems resolved.
Thank you, everyone!

Chris, which one did you buy and why?

I first bought a really cheap, used 6". After using it a couple times I knew a 6" wouldn't be big enough for some of the projects I have planned.
I bought the Shop Fox W1859. It typically costs more than it's Grizzly counterpart, and has a better warranty, but I found one cheaper, in stock and with free shipping. I like the parallelogram design and the tables are nice and long.
