-When I bought my saw, I remember some dealer to dealer battles over true online sales. General may have a Minimum Advertised Price policy.

I bought my 650 from toolsplus.com, but I picked it up locally. At the time, a Florida dealer had the saw for $150 less (without my state's sales tax), and I had access to free northbound truck space. After showing the ad to Tools Plus, the Florida dealer couldn't come up with a saw to sell, and the price was removed from his website.

-I bought my 650 locally; it is one fantastic machine! To me, the benefit of actually seeing the iron I will own is worth more than a few bucks.

-It's a Woodcraft store. There's also one in Chandler. Arizona Hardwoods and Woodworking Machinery in Phoenix also handles General machines but didn't have the one I wanted although they can special order it. See: http://www.general.ca/pagetitre/ang/dist_us.html
