I have a 6" Yorkcraft jointer that I've been very happy with and have had a
good experience with Wilke. Their quality seems higher than Grizzly.
Yorkcraft is their economy line and Bridgewood is the premium house brand. I
think they offer a lot of bang for your buck. The only question I would
have would be locating aftermarket blades if you need them.
Btw, Northwest Power Tool has the 20" powermatic on sale for $1,395

Big, heavy, hard to maintain, expensive blades.
I'd stick with 15", unless you really need more.
