So I decided to go ahead and invest in a real DC system. My needs are fairly specific:
1. single tool at a time (either 3HP sawstop ICS, router table, or lunchbox planer)
2. maximum collection with minimum noise (basement workshop) - definitely want a cyclone/2 stage collector
3. Low ceiling: max height is ~75-78" - luckily my wife and I are short so this doesn't both us, but it rules out both oneida and clearvue.
Max run won't be more than 30` or so.
Note: I currently have a shopvac with a cyclone which I can potentially use for (for example) table top dust collection. It would be nicer to have just one system for everything on the table saw, though.
Suggestions?
