I got a profile 45z x-motion as my first shaper last October and have been absolutely loving it.
I'm a hobbyist in a small garage shop, and tilting spindle was a must have for me. Being able to dial in any angle chamfer with regular rebate blocks is great. Also being able to adjust angle on profiles to get different looks is really nice too.
Before the shaper, I had to try so many different angled router bits or make sloped false tables on my router table to try and get the specific look I wanted.
My shaper bundle (part of the sale last summer) came with the normal safety-bar fence, but I opted to also get the Aigner fence. The Aigner is way nicer and more convenient to use. The profil45 also comes with the Aigner Centrex guard, but I'm not sure if that is available for the f900z or not.
I went with the comatic dc40 feeder with smart stand and have also been very happy with it.
