Those are nice. I remember looking at those and now I can't remember why I chose the Grizzly over one of them. I do remember there was a reason, I just can't remember what it was.

It might have been the increase in cost or more likely he didn't have any in stock at the time. I can't see any reason why the Grizzly would be better as far as specs go.
