Someone wanting to upgrade from a Shark would not likely want to go the DIY route, so the options for that sized table turnkey are not all that numerous.

Not all Chinese machines are the same...do some research before making a general statements such as this. I purchased a 4x8 machine from China almost 2 years ago and it has been a serious workhorse without any problems. It has cut everything I have put on the table with amazing accuracy. I ran 8 4x8 panels for a ceiling cutting 80mm deep in solid wood, each panel took 32 hrs...machine stopped only to change the blanks...We have been running this machine 6-8 hrs a day, 5-6 days a week since last september cutting solid wood door panels for another shop with no issues. And there is support, spare parts from the factory. I also have a older shopbot, both have their function in our shop, we don't compare the two. I suggest drmrdr to look at a Chinese machines.
