I had an AAMCO 7" shaper for a number of years, and had used really large ones back in the '70s at night school.
I *love* shapers - or so I thought. Sold the AAMCO when moving to NZ back early '90s, keep looking for one, but when a really nice SouthBend one came up here for a reasonable price, I did not go for it - the vertical mills *really* are better machines And I never did use my shaper for some of those "really easy to do on a shaper but hard on anything else" machining processes. The last free bit of my workshop is filled with my 3rd lathe, which will become a CNC lathe. (Emco Compact-8) (BTW - I also sold my 1987 Sebastian Lathe Co. lathe when I got my first used Emco Compact-8 - talk about a world of difference!)
