Great service from Shop-Vac

I have a nice 16 gallon heavy-duty Shop-Vac circa 1995 (one of the tall yellow ones--originally gotten for free, BTW). It's been a great tool but the casters and little support legs collapsed. After just a couple minutes on the phone they offered to end a whole new set of casters and ...

Which Shop Fox fence should I get with a Grizzly G1023?

I've scoured the net, and can't find much on the two flavors of Shop Fox fences for the Grizzly G1023 Cabinet Saw. I'm in the process of setting up my first shop, and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the extra $ to go with the G1023Z over the G1023S.
