I appreciate comments. As I understand the consensus, I would summarize
this way:

Despite Delta or Jet perhaps having somewhat higher or more consistent
quality, the advantage of weight/stability/smoothness of a beefier Grizzly
cabinet saw over a Delta/Jet contractor's saw makes the Grizzly cabinet
saw
the better choice. That said, the preference seems primarily a 'pleasure'
issue attributable to the smoothness and ease of cutting because (as Bob
Griffiths said, and no one else claimed otherwise) there is no material
difference in the accuracy of cut if both saws are set up true ("on the
money").

Agreed?

Agreed somewhat. The cabinet saws have the power to cut just about anything
you throw at them, including stacked dado blades. Contractors saws will
reach their limits sooner, especially in thicker hard woods. Also, the
cabinet saws are more likely to stay in tune better than the lighter weight
contractor saws. A smoother running saw is going to translate into smoother
cuts regardless of how well set up 2 different saws may be. That is not a
pleasure factor.
That said, a Yugo and a Mercedes will both get you to the same place.
