    I have not looked int combination thickness and joiner planes. Personally I don't like combination tools like that because there is compromise (not really a dirty word, just not desirable in this case). To go with your CarveWright, and for not to large woodworking and cabinet work I like Ridged and Craftsman tools. They are priced competitively and good quality. A bench top joiner will not last. Get a 6" floor model. For the thickness planer it must be 4 post and 3 blades, 12" minimum, but try for a 13". Use your dust collector on both. They really crank out the chips - not flour like the CarveWright.
