Ryan, I agree they are a fabulous tool. I've had 3 through the years. If you search around their site you can also find all  the parts to roll your own. I know I always have a few motors laying around, that usually is the big part of the price. Under videos they have one for about every question you could have about them, so the buying of the parts, and the rolling your own is easily doable. Or you can go retail. Unless you buy every option they have usually you can get  a 24" for a lot less then a 16/32 Wide belt sander, plus they have options to make it part of your extension fence to the side of your TS, like a router.
