Grizzly 8 inch jointer

Anyone got one of those new G04090 jointers with Parallelogram Beds? Looking
to upgrade my Delta 6 inch jointer.

Haven't had to adjust the beds yet - they came perfectly aligned from
the factory. The adjustment procedure seems fairly straightforward
and there's no messing around with shim changes, although it does
appear that it's a fairly iterative process which means it's probably
not any quicker than the shimming method, just different.

I picked this one over the slightly cheaper dovetail Grizzly (G0586)
primarily due to the parallelogram design which I suspect will result
in better long term adjustability as the machine gets used (no wear on
dovetail guides to worry about), the 3HP motor, and the longer infeed
table. So far, it's met all my expectations.

Do you find this method better, then jointers with dovetail ways? My delta,
I had to use shims on the dovetail ways, to get both infeed and outfeed beds
coplaner.
