I'm dealing with the same issue. I've had the opportunity to use the Grizzy sander but not extensively, seems good for dressing tools but I don't know about large amounts of stock removal. Belt grinders are just so expensive!

This one is the next step up I would say, a true belt grinder for not a bad price, just still a bit out of my budget and there are apparently a few problems with it. I wish I had a first hand account of whether it was worth it because it seems perfect.
It's a Grizzly G1015. 1000 times better than a harbor freight 1x30. Anyone who has used a more expensive grinder usually complain about the Grizzly's belt tracking, the platen's quality, and the small rest. Those issues can be addressed with some mods. For the price point, you can't beat it.
