Thank you for your input.
I can't comment on the SuperMax sanders but be aware that Laguna just bought the company. Any customer service needs you have might be routed through Laguna's CS department. Some folks may consider that a negative.

In the absence of any knowledge of new features I say why not go bigger?
Fwiw I have the 19/38 and have been pleased.

HAve you looked at the 16/32 next to the 19/38. The Supermax is built better in my opinion. I have the 25/50.

Super max now has a 16-32 sander which is the reason I am asking.

I've had the 19/38 in my sights for some time, but I have to admit the 16/32 looks like it has some nice new features. I can't tell if it has the "Sandsmart" stuff, though. But with the Laguna purchase I am rethinking the whole thing.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

19-38 is all cast iron.
16-32 is all aluminum.
This is true for both the jet and the new supermax 16
For my money, I'd buy the 19. Aluminum deflects too much in use.
