Default Lets talk belt grinders / Disc grinders / Bead rollers

So my twins are now almost 4 so they are old enough to play and little on there own so I see myself finally finshing out the shop I started putting together 5 years ago. Need to collect a few more big pieces of my puzzle. The next two big items are a bead roller and new grinder. I am pretty sure the bead roller is going to be the Mitler Bros 36" high throat model with industrial motor. Opinons on that?

Where I am struggling in the grinder(s) I currently have the stand up JET combo model I spent $800 7 years ago on and hate it. I push even a little hard and I stop the damn thing in it tracks. I'll sell it a step up probably to a Burr King but which one? There are so many widths belts , 2 wheel or 3 wheel, fixed speed or variable speed??? I want to do this one more time and will it to my now 3yo son if he grows up in to cars like I think he will. Also do need a disc grinder. I use it as much as the belt now but will a good belt be enough? Any other models or brand I will be just as happy with?

Lets hear it what do you have or what do you wish you would have got?
