Bigger than an 8" jointer?

I'm thinking of upgrading from my 8" jointer. I looked at a used Inca 10"
jointer/planer, but the gearing system seemed too kluged to me. Anyone know
of a larger jointer that doesn't weigh a half-ton for a reasonable price?
I'm leaning toward an Invicta 12" at the moment. Anyone have experience with
this machine? Sorry if this topic has been covered before.

Thanks,

Doug

Don't know the Invicta. Grizzly has a pretty neat looking 12" x 76" for about
$1895 plus shipping, and some more expensive models, too.

That's more than I gave for my 16" Northfield. Shop around.
