I've had one for a couple years and really like it.  Does the job.

 

As for dust collection,  you don't to hook up something.  It will use the large Shopsmith dust collection system.   The floor.

Mine is on a cart due to shop size and I roll it out to the drive way….”I just let the chip fly!”

Every January (getting ready to do it now), I spend a few hours rotating the carbide in my Dewalt.  One thing I learned in industry is remove the carbide, lightly stone the seat, wipe it with lacquer thinner, rotate the insert and then reinstall it by shaking it in.  Don’t over tighten it either.

I bought a 15" Grizzly about 10 years ago and I have yet to rotate the blades. I have run thousands of board feet of lumber through mine and it still comes out looking smooth I keep thinking I'm going to rotate them but it still cuts good and is quite.

I do recommend getting that head for the Dewalt when you can. It will pay for its self.
