So finally pulled the pin after much to much contemplation and bought a saw. I spent eons contemplating hybrid over cabinet saw. Once like a professional procrastinator I finally decided the playing field had changed a bit with Baileigh and Harvey becoming available.
Beginning of December 2015 I called Baileigh and Woodworking Warehouse. No idea why just didn't enjoy the interaction with Bailleigh which was enough to discount them. They also gave me the wrong information and told me the trunnion was attached to the table and not the base.
I popped into Woodworking Warehouse and had a look at the Laguna Fusion. Great looking saw but it was not setup properly was all a bit wobbly and put me off. A bit silly because it was obviously not put together for production use but none the less I was looking for something to say "gimme your money now!"
Read every thread and review I could find and in the US the Grizzly 690 gets nothing but complimentary reviews. Add to that several businesses take this Harvey saw, rebadge it as their own and build businesses and reputations on top of that...for me that is all the review I needed.
What are my wood qualifications or why should you disregard everything you read here. Because I have no training or skill to speak of. I am youtube wood junky and aspire to one day build something that does not embarrass me. I had several cracks at using a contractor saw but never had the patience for dealing with the bizarre fences and mountains of dust.
She served me well but no more scary ripping for me.

All said and done off the general vibe I got from fellow wood fiddlers on this and other forums I ordered the Harvey HW110LGE-30 from Ryan at Major Woodworking Equipment. Tablesaws - Major Woodworking Equipment
Cost delivered to my door on the Mornington Peninsula was approximately $2800. This included a heavy duty mobile base and tail lift service to put the 240kg beast into the garage. I think freight alone was over $200.
