The only complaint I have with my Harvey is it is an older design and has a triple V-belt drive rather than the newer multi-rib belts. So it takes a set which is a minor nuisance changing blades. Some newer designs also have an arbor lock so you only need one wrench. As some folks use combo-blades, they may not notice, but I change blades all the time, rip, cross, and melamine. Maybe I would make the throat plate half an inch wider so my big fat paws could reach the nut easier. No saw has decent dust collection. I have some ideas but don't know when I will get to them. My older design does not even have an internal shroud. Their new one does.
On the router tables, be aware there are about three common drop-in plate sizes. So which lift/plate may decide which router table. Be aware, recently TS tables went from a standard depth of 27 inches to 29 and one at 31, so a wing table may need support and a filler strip.
Saw Stop has multiple overlapping patents, so as I understand it, they are not fully "off". Yes, I would look forward to the re-introduction of the Bosch product, but I doubt they will build a cabinet saw as that is not in their product lineup. Job site is. Personally, table top, job site, and even contractor saws scare me. Just not stable. I have had one of each which was a costly mistake.
Big industrial shops use power feed or CNC so workers hands should never be near the blade. At least they should. If I were an underwriter, I would put a HUGE premium on shops without some sort of protection. Not Big Brother, economic liability.
We are not likely to see the same technology on other tools. It is physically big and heavy. Consider not only the brake shoe, but the retraction system. I suspect some of the cost is additional liability insurance if someone does get hurt by a SS believing they won't. Big pockets theory. If it was only $500 more, they would own the entire market but as it is, they sell as many as they can make, so there is no incentive to lower the price for cabinet saws. They did not own the job site market, so that is where they are focusing now. It is a lot bigger than cabinet saws.
Let us not forget dust, and I mean fine dust. It kills. It kills a lot, just not dramatic ER stats. FWIW, I bought my drill press from the widow of a hobby woodworker who was just getting around to installing dust collection. Emphysema. A SS price premium seems small compared to the cost of my Clear View system. I even considered the Harvey Gryo system, but my shop layout made that awkward. They need to make their input moveable to any of the four surfaces on the end. Even my DC was a buy wrong path. Shop vac ( useless), Jet with a bag, adding a canister, and finally putting in a ClearView. A lot spent on the wrong tools. I am now learning we need different DC technology depending on the tool. Some tools need the higher flow, some the higher lift.
On my second planer, jointer and drill press. I wish I could make one more step up on each, but no space and can't really justify it. In stead of a Kaypex, I am improving my shooting board. I hate my Ridgid and wish I had kept my first generation Delta. It was more accurate.
All this rambling comes down to:
Buy the correct tool and explain it to you significant other once. Cheaper and safer. Or is that measure once and curse twice?
