You're not. I am not an experienced woodworker. Table saws scare the shi-ite Muslim militia out of me. I mulled this for two years back and forth. For me, if you look at the cutting capabilities alone the two are about equal. Good table saws with big motors may come out top. But the Smart table top or whatevervthe name is and especially the SSRK turns it into a much more sophisticated thing than a table saw IMHO. Add safety features and the other measuring, stops, clamps etc and that decided it for me. Above all the safety features. You can do feather thin cuts and your hands are never near the blade.
That's why I'm waiting.
You're not crazy. There's a table saw injury every nanosecond. Not that frequently but it's unbelievably often.
I think I'm going to drive down and pick it up next week. There is a new version of the EZ-One that he says will be ready on Monday. I'm hoping he can show me how to put it together as he doesn't include instuctions
Hopefully he will ship you one UROK. Have you had any luck contacting him?
What saws are you guy's using with the EZ? I'm thinking about picking up a Makita 5008MGA. Also what are you guys doing for dust collection?

You may want to look up the JP Thien cyclone design. I've made a small version from an old bucket and a handful of scrap pieces. It works very well for me in combination with a small shop vac.

Perfectly happy with mine. Use it all the time whenever I use power tools in the house. I don't think I have more pics of mine online, but others may have posted pics of their methods of dust collection.

Sorry Lief but I guess asking here makes sense - Anton or others - What's your feedback now you have been using it for a while?
I also use a thien baffle collector with my EZ stuff. Works great. I build mine with a 15 gallon plastic barrel that drive thru car washes buy their soap in. Works great. If you are looking for cheap hose, check for pool cleaning hose, it works well and is cheaper than real dust collection hose.

Also, try this with the tablesaw. Duplicated a pickguard with the router attachment.
