Horizontal vs. Vertical Bandsaws: Pro's and Con's

[Janderso]

Fo ocasional use, the horizontal/vertical bandsaw is the most versatile. I have both a vertical and a horizontal and love having them both.

I have to agree, they both have their uses.
My old Marvel 6X12 horizontal is a mule. It is a work horse!
The Jet 14" is new. Very capable but is more for light, finesse work in my opinion.
For a small shop, I think I would go for one of the combos. You can always modify extended tables, braces and such.
