Well, I made my final decision and bought a powermatic 54HH jointer today.  It is being shipped from the States, so I should be able to pick it up at the dealer later this week, or perhaps earlly next week (depeding upon the border).  It was pricey, but I am pretty excited!

I'll post a review and such when I get it.

Here is a link to the jointer if you wish to see its specs/features.

The new jointer was decided at 6" due to two major consideration.  The first, of course, was cost.  The unit I bought was about 2k CDN, and that was the absolute limit of my budget.

i really wanted a helical head, and this unit has a real "Byrd" cutter head, so that was a plus.

the second consideration was space.  The 8" parallelogram model is HUGE - no way I could get it in the small shop.
