Tools: Belt Sander Needed

Are there any favorite belt sander models among you guys? Or ones to stay away from? I need to flatten some rough cut and slightly bowed Sapele which has tightly spaced alternating bands of grain, so planing is out of the question. Kinda slow too. Seems like a belt sander would get me in the ballpark before I switch of a ROS or manual methods.
