Opinions on Grob vs. Do-All vertical band saws?

Haven't bought the saw yet, but am looking at a Doall 20" or larger. I'm emailing back/forth with a seller of a 24" saw about 100 miles from me which is "plan A". He was verifying the welder worked, then I'll go on a road trip.

Plan "B" is a 36" Doall in the Detroit area. We have one at work and it's a great saw. Big footprint however (6' x 4'). At that size it'll be on casters (24" saw will also) and probably shoved in a corner until I need it. I have a space for the 24" one where it'll pretty much set in a permanent spot.

No worry, once I get the saw I'll get some photo posted. It's not like my wife will drool over it!

You can't go wrong with a Doall saw. I have a Grob 4v-18. They have a 4 speed manual transmission and a variable speed pulley setup that gives you a full range of speeds. Mine has air over hydraulic table feed and a blade welder. I've had it about 10yrs. It's been a great saw. I move mine with a pallet jack when I need to.
