Of course everyone has his own vision on his workshop, but what I expirienced, and therefore would like to tell you, is that the metalcutting bandsaw (for give me if the name is not right)
is a very usefull machine. 
That is if tuned right, so it cuts perfect square.
It works while you can do something else and so it saves a lot of your time.
Do not economize on it.
