Eric, I've spent a lot of time on the 66. Both commercially and home projects. What is the main differences between it and the 72?
The 72 is a 12" saw while the 66 is a 10" (later 72s went to 14") so it has another 1" depth of cut taking it to about 4 3/8". The biggest difference is the table size. The 66 is 28" deep while the 72 is 38" deep and the blade is set further back. This gives an advantage of being able to set more of your stock, or especially sheetgoods, on the table and against the fence before the blade starts cutting.

Oh that's great, especially more table in front of the blade. Getting parallel and true rips on plywood always is touchy the first few inches on a standard 10"'saw
