OK, so after much reasearch and deliberation, not to mention saving my pennies, I finally made up my mind on ordering the venerable DW735 (with in/out tables of course) when what do I happen to run across? I just looked through the March Issue of Wood Magazine with it's review of lunchbox planers. In it, they reviewed a maching that I had not seen before, the Steel City 40200H which comes standard with a Spiral Cutter. Even then, I was not enticed, because it onl has 26 cutters in what amounts to a single spiral and they are HSS not Carbide. Oh yeah, but then I had to get wild and crazy, I called Steel City. It turns out, that are attachment points for additional cutters to to create a double helix, and they have carbide cutters available.
So now here I am perplexed once again. The two machines are virtually the same price so I cannot even use that as the deciding factor. I am open to any wisdom and guidance that you guys can pass down.
