I'm about to press the button myself. Can I ask why you've settled on the Shapeoko 3?

Hi all, does anyone have experience of the latest Shapeoko?

My biggest complaint with combined planner thicknesser's is winding the thicknessing bed up and down all the time. I suppose I should try to be more organised but it is a pain in backside. Sedgewick seem to be the only one that doesn't require this. My preference would be a big enough shop to...
