I was looking over the Grizzlies and found they have 2 very similar ones

The Polar Bear has 2 extra image views and it looks like they have modified how the fence is attached so there isnt long post sticking out the back. The depth difference or how far it sticks out from the wall is huge, 41 1/3" vs 24"
Anyone in the Raleigh area have a Polar Bear Version I can check out? It's between the Jet and the Grizzly now for me. Jet was leading because of the smaller footprint but I think the Polar bear has jumped in the lead, especially with the price difference.
