Looking at Laguna’s 18 inch bandsaws and, leaving aside money as a concern, is there a real benefit to the 5hp version versus the 3hp version for resawing maple, cherry, mahogany, etc.?

My 3 hp Laguna has no problem resawing hardwood to its full 14 inch capacity.

Same here, 3HP has been fine for resawing white oak.
My 14 inch Laguna has a 1-3/4 HP motor, and it resaws 10 inch cherry without a hiccup.
