Delta Table Saw comparison XL-10 vs 36-600

I'm in the market for a table saw and I'm trying to decide between two used Delta models available locally. The first is an XL-10 (36-380) that is about 7 years old but is in pretty good shape - asking price is $275. The other is a 36-600 (precursor to the TS-300) that is essentially unused - asking price $225. I've found lots of great information here and other places on each of these saws but I haven't been able to determine if they are equivalent saws or is one significantly better quality than the other.



Thanks in advance for any advice.

It's the fence that counts.

I'd pass and look for a model with belt drive, cast iron wings and pay about $300 to $400.

I just looked at parts diagrams for both saws at

are direct drive, but the 36-380 appears to use an induction motor. That would be a big plus IMHO, but my best advice would be to pass on both of them and try to find a "conventional" belt-drive saw.
