I think the 3 hp Powermatics are roughly $600 more than a comparable Delta Unisaw now (both with 50" table and mobile base). When I bought mine they were closer in price, differing by approximately $300. I looked at both and really liked the Powermatic castings. Very heavy resulting in a very smooth operating machine. Even when very dusty I don't have problems changing the blade angle. My Craftsman would gum up and have to be cleaned regularly. I haven't run a Delta enough to offer any opinion although I've never heard or read of anyone complaining about them. The Jet and General lines are supposed to be comparable.
