I came real close to buying a porter cable jobsite saw and looked real hard at Dewalt too. for the money they wanted I said to heck with it and bought a very heavy full cast iron top craftsmen cabinet saw on close out. I have the room for it... It was a wise choice it doesn't shake rattle or roll around when ripping boards by myself. If you have the space go for it, if not a good jobsite saw will work but they are a little problematic for working alone with bigger stuff.
