Since acquiring the upright bandsaw, the plasma machines get used rarely. The bandsaw will leave you with a cleaner, ready to weld or finish cut, where the plasma requires clean up. If you are cutting through 1/2 material, you'll need to pull the nozzle slowly so you don't push the flame (and cut) sideways. Which then requires even more clean up. Plasma and thick paint don't get along. Plasma's like cleaner metal to cut.
I find I use the upright bandsaw almost daily.
