I want to give my .02 on this from experience. I had a Delta 14" bandsaw. I added a 2 hp motor and put on the riser blocks. As a woodturner and using it for roughing out and prepping blanks, I couldn't of been happier. But as I started doing more and more flat work and tried to do resawing on it, it became nothing but frustration. The saw was set up properly but tension or lack there of, made it a poor choice for resaw work. Depending on what you want to use it for would dictate my choice as to proceed or not.
