I had a HF 4x6 bandsaw for a while too...the upper pully mechanisim about 
ate itself up.  I got the Grizzly version about a year ago, and for about 
$40-60 more in cost, I feel I've gotten about $200-300 more in value.  It 
is a pleasure to work with compared to the HF.  Admittedly you can pick up 
a HF saw just about anywhere in the US without having to pay for shipping, 
and unless you live close to one of the 3 Grizzly warehouses, you are 
going to be stuck paying shipping.  Just my two schekels worth.
