I think Delta has a bearing guide assembly for $100.

Check out this article.

As far as wither blocks are as good as bearings, all upper end saws use bearings for obvious reasons. Low heat and maintenance. Once they are in and adjusted, you can forget about them unless you change blades. I like the way they look too.

You can call Grizzly and see if they have a conversion assembly as well. I have the 14 "Griz Ultimate" saw and ounce for ounce, price considered, pretty damm good.
