I'm looking at my options for 14" bandsaws but notice the 17" grizzly 40th anniversary edition seems like its worth considering. Aside from the obvious size increase how does it compare to the usual 14" saws? Is something like the Laguna 14|12 or Rikon 10-324TG 14" saws have any advantages?

Maybe a silly suggestion, but I've been thinking about building a bandsaw. There are some really good YouTube resources on building them. Matthias Wandel and Marius Hornberger are great starting points.
