I was torn between these two machines. I initially thought that I would be annoyed by the short outfeed table. So I had an order in for the backordered g0586. I heard over on woodnet that people who had orders in for the g0490 received notice that they were shipping out of MO. I went back and looked again at the two and decided to switch. It costs more, but costs less to ship, so it ends up being about $40 more. For that you get an extra horse and a few other features.
Anyway, I guess it's too late now since they're getting ready to ship my g0490. But can anyone see an advantage that the g0586 has over the g0490?
