What’s the best bandsaw for around 1500 with automatic come down and coolant? Was looking at the sealey one

Had a Sealey for 18 years and couldn't fault it something electrical went wrong about five months ago it just stopped working so I got a electrician to take a look but he couldn't find the fault. I looked at the new SIP and Sealey but decided against them because I don't know if build quality will be the same now as it was then (because of my location unable to view the real thing) its probably just me but I think so many new machines nowadays are absolute rubbish they may look good on the internet but different when you see them for real.

Yes I have still got the Sealey but couldn't wait until I could find anyone to fix it electrician said it was a minor electrical problem as everything still works but he didn't have the part to fix it, so I bought a new (over the top Bomar Proficut)

I've had the smaller non auto version of the one below for 4 years and it's been excellent. Super accurate for mitres and portable too. No coolant though.
