I bought one two years ago for a similar price but it didn't have the Baldor motor and had the foreign made motor. I've not had any problems with it at all and love the saw. I was a little ticked that I have to spend about $100 in extra splitters and such that I felt should have come with the saw.

Today, you can find it a little over $2600 if you look around and wait. And then add shipping on top of that. I bought mine from Amazon as they included lift gate service as a freeebie.

Following your link, I did a price comparison of the vendors listed. I wonder what the one that Woodcraft is offering has that the others don't that makes it worth $100 more?
