I have a PM66 and I'm very happy with it, so I'm certainly not in the market for a new saw to begin with, but even if I was and money was no object, I would never buy a SawStop, I'd go get one of the new PM2000s. My problem with the SS is primarily political, I don't like what they tried to pull and I'm going to hold a grudge for a long, long time, but also, I simply don't think I need to be protected from myself. I've been doing woodworking for many years and I still have all my fingers and toes. Heck, my father worked for many years on a crappy 8 1/2" benchtop saw with a completely ineffective guard and he never hurt himself either. Being careful and knowing what your limitations are is *ALWAYS* more important than having someone's nanny equipment on your saw. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee I'd never trip the SS, at least not the way it's supposed to be tripped. Faulty and expensive trips, as are widely reported, would probably just make me mad.
