It's simply a recon mission.
I would like to get some eyes-on experience with the stuff for future purchases. Several times in the past, I've thought about Grizzly tools, but as a touchy-feely type of guy, I passed. Down the road, I'm probably going to buy a drum sander, so that's my main focus. While I can get plenty of information here, varying expectations and experience levels usually get me to seek out first hand knowledge on large purchases.
Not to mention, "Any excuse to fly"...
