Buying one of these and was wondering if anyone can give insight on the differences. You pretty much can buy the 5K2 LGP for the same as a 3K2 LGP. Have only seen a 5 up close and not a 3. The 5 looks on the big side for what id need but would work. I just can't see getting a 3 with the same money for a 5. Other than the HP, is the footprint of the 3 the same as the 5? The 5 is a wee bit heavier but not really a concern.

I seem to recall that in the earlier machines, the frames were all the same. I don't know if they changed that with the new model designations though. One of the sales reps I have known for years has made similar statements of why by a D3 when the D5 is nearly the same thing.
