The one you linked to looks way sturdier than the variable speed one. Changing belts is a pain but even with the VS one you need to change belts sometimes.
Anyway , I have a Rikon VS and VS is a nice feature but that $129 one looks a little lightweight to me. Also the one you linked to has 1/2 HP , the VS is 1/3 HP. $146 is a very low price!
