Grizzly G0555 14" Bandsaw is currently on sale for $555.00 including shipping. No sales tax if shipped to NC and ordered directly from Grizzly. I don't know anything about the Grizzly except there are favorable comments about it on some woodworking forums. You'd probably want to add the 6" riser block kit for another $84.95 to take the resaw capacity from 6 to 12 inches (Rikon has 13").
If one wants the resaw capacity then one is better off with the Rikon 10-325 than upgrading a smaller 14" bandsaw with a riser block. The typical 3/4 to 1HP motors on traditional 14" bandsaws are adequate for their factory 6" height but very underpowered when you expand that capacity by an additional 6" with a riser block -- you can resaw with such but it is a far less enjoyable activity and much slower (and slower can lead to excess blade temperatures that reduce blade life and may scorch more sensitive hardwoods, such as Purpleheart). They also tend not to be built as robustly from a tensioning perspective and many can be stressed to their breaking point (in the tensioning system, not the saw itself) if one tries to adequately tension anything wider than a 1/2" blade for resawing (even though many advertise compatibility with 3/4" blades). The Rikon 10-325, by comparison, has 13" of factory resaw capacity, a 1-1/2HP (120V) motor, and can more than adequately tension a 3/4" blade during resaw (14" wheels are too narrow for most 1" resaw blades).
However, if this saw is intended for resaw exclusively then you may wish to consider upgrading to an 18-20" bandsaw -- however, their larger 2-3HP motors (which are better for heavy resawing of hardwoods) will demand a 240V circuit. The advantage of a larger bandsaw is not so much greater resaw height (they typically allow 10-12") but their larger motors, greater tensioning capacity, and larger and thicker (thus much stiffer) blade capacity, which make for better resawing of thick hardwood boards and slabs. However, the larger bandsaws are typically limited to a 1/4" blade as their narrowest possible blade (versus 1/8", or less, on the smaller bandsaws) and are poor candidates for any sort of fine scrolling work.
I have an older Rikon 10-345 18" (18-3/4" actual) bandsaw for resawing. It has a 12" resaw capacity, 2-1/2HP motor (240V), and can more than adequately tension the large 1" 3TPI hook-tooth blade I typically use for resawing most boards or slabs and will resaw such with ease. I also use it with a large circle cutting jig for making discs anywhere from about 6-8" up to nearly 6ft+ diameter using a shop made auxiliary table extension. However, while it excels at resawing it is not well suited for any serious fine scrolling work as the minimum suitable blade width for this saw is 1/4" (the maximum is 1-1/4", but with most any bandsaw you are best maxing out at one blade width smaller than their maximum rated to ensure adequate tensioning capacity is available and to improve band life). When using narrower blades (1/4" to 3/4") on such larger bandsaws, one can typically expect to enjoy much greater band life than on a smaller bandsaw (provided one does not overtension) because the bands are both longer (the wear is distributed across more teeth) and the bands themselves are subject to less flexing on the larger diameter wheels so they develop stress fractures more slowly than on a smaller bandsaw.
With most any bandsaw you choose, you will need to be prepared to upgrade the fence for resawing as most are woefully inadequate for any serious resawing (even on most larger bandsaws that are primarily intended for resawing). You can either make your own resaw fence, modify and improve the factory fence hardware, or opt for an aftermarket upgrade fence depending upon which solution suits you best. I also recommend mounting a good task light on your bandsaw to well illuminate the work area around the blade (both for setup purposes and to assist in following the line when following a scribed contour) -- I use a DeWalt model that is sold as an upgrade to DeWalt scrollsaws and bolted it to my bandsaw (it has a very stiff gooseneck that stays put nicely).
Whatever route you choose to go, you will most certainly enjoy your new bandsaw along with enjoying the benefits of being able to efficiently resaw and make optimal use of your wood stock!
