Best horizontal bandsaw for the hobbyist?

I recently bought a saw as I was getting tired of trying to cut things with an angle grinder. I was initially going to buy a Chinese saw but couldn't bring myself to bite the bullet. I kept holding off and finally a second hand machine came up. There is a difference between a light bandsaw and something made for industry and heavier use.

You may not need a sturdy machine since you will be using it intermittently, but if you are cutting hard materials you will appreciate extra rigidity and accuracy. A coolant pump is a big benefit for harder materials and will really prolong your blade life.
