I've got a 3520a, and I agree that the upgrade to the b is a bit wishywashy.
The 3520 line is great. solid, strong and heavy....
I also have a 3520 for sale (couldn't get the extension bed anymore, and I
needed the extra length). If your looking for a reasonably priced machine,
and don't need more than 35" between centers, drop me a line...
