LOML has given green light on building the kitchen cabinets and the door panels are wider than 13" so it seems a 15" planer would be in order. But not sure I can justify new or higher end 15" so looking at used or lower end 15" planers. Here are some options I was looking at:
Grizzly G0477 ($850 no shipping) - 2 hp, 110v, 2 feed rates, 2 knives, open stand, planer/molder

Steelex ST1002 ($972 no shipping) - 3hp 1 phase, 220v, 3 knives, 5000 rpm, 2 feed rates, mobile base

Oasis P1015 ($689 + shipping) - 3hp 1 phase, 220v, 3 knives, 5000 rpm, 2 feed rates, mobile base

Sunhill CT-382A ($749 + shipping) - 3hp 1 phase, 220v, 3 knives, 15000 rpm, shelix head upgrade - $795 - http://www.sunhillmachinery.com/en/...9&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=161&vmcchk=1http://www.sunhillmachinery.com/en/home-shop.html?page=shop.product_details&category_id=49&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=161&vmcchk=1
Or the Bas route (junior version):
Jet 707410 10" jointer planer ($419 no shipping) - 2 knives, 110v, 9000 RPM, open stand

other option is to get a nice Dewalt 13" planer and simply pay/swap favors for use of a 15" planer when I need one - there are several around. Can likely get a good used Dewalt easier.
