Hobbypatches; I am new to this board, from Saskatchewan and have had a Bailey 15" (which i am selling, cause I got an incredible deal on a HQ16), but I had mine on a GMQ pro frame. Personally I would not put a 17" machine on a LG II, I don't think you would have the room to use it to its full capacity, especially if you want to put a ruler base on it. I have had really good luck with my machine and I was even considering getting a 17" because they are suppose to be really nice. Good luck with your decision.
