I just don't see why a person wouldn't go for the 735... even if they don't have the money, save up longer.

I have a really small half of a small garage (and I'm 6'7" 330lbs so it feels smaller) with a super short 7' ceiling lol.
I have the 735 setup in an all in one type bench... I use a lot of flip systems on my benches and work areas t9 makimize room.
I don't use a table saw, so I put the 735 where a 2 arm person might put a table saw. But on the center bench I have several tools setup in a 56x62 design. I have a 12" bandsaw (I'm waiting to upgrade it) a regular router table, and planer. ( I now have a ton of storage and additional space since i got rid of my drill press and jointer that were also built into it. (I ended up making my own portable drill press... (Linear motion rods and aluminum t-slot are everything to me!! Lol). And I made my own jointer as well.)
I incorporated into my Sliding miter on another bench against one wall with the disc/belt sander and grinder both working off the same motor. And at the end of that I have my pantorouter. My other wall is currently my nightmare. Lol. I'm working on it.
Having 1 functioning arm & leg I've spent 6 years building this small area to fit me and my ogrish half-body 🤣 🤣 🤣.
Now, I'm going to be pulling it all out soon. It has zero insulation. And my body can't do the 120f with 80%+ humidity anymore. I usually work a lot in my A/C mudroom, but i keep my hardwood in there so its a tight fit, and theres no dust collector, nor space for it so its usually hand tools & extractor. So this year, I'm hoping to get insulation on ceiling and walls, and put a mini AC in there. Even if I can get it to 100f I'll be happy! I'm too old for that heat!
Well... I just wrote a book. My bad. No worries if ya didn't read it lol

Was that $500 for the 735x (with feed tables and 3 spare blades)? Either way, I dont think we will see a 735 at $500, from a source like Lowes/HD again for some time. A planer isn't a tool I would want shipped to me.
