I'm ready to get a jointer now as the table top joiner I have been using is way to smallfor most projects. Everyone tells me to try and get the 8" but the price is really up there compared to 6" joiners. I'm now looking at the powermatic 6" joiner with the long table. I'm not really committed to it but I do know a long table is import for long boards. I have been only using the table top joiner to prepare the edges for joining so I haven't seen the need to prepare the surface of the boards yet. I'm open to spending more if I can convince myself the 8" is more useful. I'm trying to buy the right equipment the first time and have been very happy with my Delta unisaw so far. Thanks
