I've cut two pinblocks using my Bosch scroll saw.  Much easier to control
for me and it sliced through like butter!  I'll never go back to the
bandsaw.

NOPE! Not me! If I were to, I'd have to start from scratch because  
Ahhzzzz luvs maaa Laguna bandsaw. I can honestly say that of the  
dozens of pinblocks I have resawn (Delignit for capping), I think I've  
only wasted a part of one pinblock blank - and that was because I was  
using a VERY dull blade. Don't matter how nice your saw is, or how  
well you have it set up, if your blade is dull, it ain't gonna cut well!
