I would like to get some feedback on which machine people feel is the better choice excluding price. The Powermatic 209HH-1 20" Planer with the Byrd Helical Cutter or the Grizzly G1033X 20 with Spiral Cutter.

I’m leaning towards the Powermatic for two reasons: the 5 year warranty vs. Grizzly 1 year warranty; and that the Powermatic has 132 knifes vs. Grizzly with 96.
If you have experience with either machine and can provide any insight, I would be most appreciative.
