I have never seriously looked at homeowner thickness sanders because I have an aversion to wrapping the sandpaper around the drum. I am a good one for sanding through the grits (at least 3 for most projects) and I can't see myself wrapping and wrapping and wrapping sandpaper. Heck, I bought three belt sanders and three RO sanders because I'm lazy.

Well then this is a sander you should have, no wrapping ever. But keep in mind this is NOT a thickness sander, it works by having the sanding grit only touching the workpiece.

I think you might be avoiding the wrapping because you think it is a big deal... it is not. I have a sand-flee type sander I build that uses the wrap paper and it is a very simple process, easier then a belt sander. It is a little harder on my commercial drum sander as it is spring loaded to keep the sandpaper tight but we have made friends so it goes pretty well now, first time was a bear....
