So I thought a miter saw would be nice to have. I am thinking that the DeWalt DWS779 at $350 is a pretty nice pick. The next model up has a nice light feature that gives you a line projected on the wood. But its $200.00 more and that's the only difference.

You can add that light kit for under $100 after if I wanted.

So with that said what are the opinions here? The Bosch looks great but I'm not spending 700-800 on a saw that I am not going to use all the time.

And if you don't want/need the "sliding" option, you can get the model 1 step down for $199. If you're going to be cutting crown and stair rail, then the non-sliding option should be adequate.
