Meddling Fool, here is a bucket of cold water for ya!

I have a really nice Jet model in white. It's a fine machine.

However, I wish I had my money back in my pocket as it's not needed in a guitar shop. If you hesitate while sanding and not moving your part evenly it will gouge sand.

I thought it would help building molds, but turns out the gouging issue doesn't work well there. Router is best for that job.

So, my two cents are get a nice room for a weekend and take your wife out for a nice time.

I use my bench sander way more, matter of fact this never made the leap from garage to shop. [:Y:]

Mike,
Your HF sure looks a lot like my Triton from Woodcraft, uh- it is my Triton.
It should have told me something when it came right out of the box with a cracked base bolt hole.
I've not had any other issues, so far.
