Just a note on the Ridgid -- I had a very baaaaad experience with the machine. I went through three units over the space of about 48 hours. I kept on having to swap them back at the store because of some weird motor issue that made the motor either completely non-functional or tempermental (found out later looking more extensively online that there was a spate of motor issues with some recent productions of the machine). On the third try at last I got one that worked, except that I found that the cheap plastic insert that sat well below the level of the table made the machine useless for doing any kind of small or precision work.
So I ended up getting the Jet benchtop model, and have basically been happy with it, except for the fact that some of the spindles included with the machine were warped.
