So did you get your Mill? How do you like it?
I am looking at many and getting opinions so I would like yours!

I did get my Cooks MP-32 about 10 days ago.   I sawed up five pine logs so far and LOVE it. 

During my shopping I had test-sawed a Woodmizer LT-15, a Cooks MP-32, and a bigger class TimberKing(2000 I think??).  The TimberKing was used and older but so was the Cooks.  The LT-15 was new.  I liked the Cooks and WM but not the Timberking.  I chose the Cooks because just seemed beefier(the bed especially is MUCH beefier).   I also got electrical up-n-down and the sawing engine was bigger and fuel-injected.  All for a little less money than the LT-15.   I did not like the rope crank deal on the LT15 for moving the head either.  The LT-15 does have a more "professional" finish and styling to it.   But I could find nothing else beside that one attribute to recommend the LT-15 over the MP-32.  In my estimation, the MP-32 beat it in all other categories.

Good luck and I hope this helps,
