Btw, shop around on Craigslist locally, sometimes you can find a really decent older Delta or Rockwell for as little as a couple hundred dollars that'll only need cleaned.

If you have the room and a way to move it you can occasionally find big commercial bandsaws really cheap because the average person has no easy way to move them nor room and/or power to install/run it.
