I've actually started looking into the Laguna Fusion aswell, what are your thoughts on that? https://www.gregmach.com/product/lag...n-10-tablesaw/

Also reading some comments I've come to the decision that a quiet machine would be ideal and of preference which I believe relies on the induction motor?

I haven't much knowledge or info on the Laguna machines, though I believe these, and the Harvey, are also very good table saws. I probably wouldn't hesitate in buying the Laguna if it was available and in my price range.

I will completely second the advice above to check the power situation at your new shop before buying anything, we've just spent a little shy of $4000 trenching in new power to a shed/office and aircon unit (we knew this was going to happen, so no big deal)... of course, that's at the upper end of the scale as far as work is concerned, but the lesson here is that electrical work doesn't come cheap, and shouldn't be a DIY job, so checking this first is well advised
