I have had a grizzly G1023 and now have the Sawstop PCS. The grizzly is a good saw. Dust collection isn’t great. The fit and finish on it is ok. Overall it was a good saw. Had a near accident and sold it for the 3hp PCS. The sawstop’s fit and finish are superior. Everything went together perfectly. With the blade guard you get near 100% dust collection on rip cuts. And it’s still pretty good without the blade guard. Both will get the job done and do it well. I’m really happy I made the switch to sawstop but if it was out of my budget I wouldn’t have a problem with the grizzly.

The G1023 is what I'm looking at. I believe at $1675, you get the G1023 with a router table insert. For the Sawstop, it's $2650 for the 1.75 HP and ~$3100 for the 3 HP. And you have to pay for every little accessory.a On top of all of this I'm having to pay around $2500 for a sub panel for my garage with 240 service (long run from the main breaker). I never mind spending good money on things for a hobby. I typically keep good care of things and can resell later if I am not using it much anymore. But with the Sawstop, I'd likely have to cut the rail down to a 30" rip capacity for walk around space. Really don't want to modify the saw. Otherwise I'd almost completely be sold on the PCS.
