Hello, I like the one Bob has as well and wish I had that one for the money but I do have a review of about 10 different models from Fine Woodworking. The top three models that they tested all had 3/4 HP motors ... 2 tied for best overall

General Intl 75-100 - a real work house with an excellent motor, ease of speed change and the least amount of runnout of all units tested. The down side is $450.

Tied for best overall was the Jet JDP 15M and has good 3/4 HP motor and nearly identical numbers accross the board and has the biggest table of all tested AND ... $100.00 Cheaper than the General

Best VAlue - Grizzly G7943 - scored in the top three for drilling power with there 3/4 HP and offers the slowest of speed settings and it's price tag - $ 225.00

Hope this helps a bit.

Corey
