I'm no expert, but everything I have read about the bandsaw has been very good - both reviews and owners.  Lots of bang for the buck.

My dust collection with the 14 deluxe is not great. One port at the end of a run with a small dust collector is just not enough. I can not say how it would be if the collector was right next to the saw, but I am sure it would be better. At this point, there is not a lot of fine dust in the air, but it does collect on the table and on the floor next to the saw. I know it would be much neater with good air pull on the port. Love the saw,though.

I have been very pleased with my 18" Rikon bandsaw and would recommend the brand to anyone.
