Actually, comparing the prices of festool to DeWalt and others on Amazon they aren't that much more.
There are also so universal tracks that can be used on most circular saws, but they get mixed/moderate reviews which isn't surprising.

It’s not just having a track to guide it, it has zero clearance methods built in so you get very clean cuts in veneers and laminates too.
They aren’t much more than the lesser brands in track saws, so why go with one that isn’t as good? Oh and my friend wasn’t using his, so he gave it to me for nothing- wouldn’t take anything for it, so I got that going for me!
They make a real cool track saw especially for crosscuts in framing lumber, but you would need to be doing a lot of building to justify the cost. Probably “pay” for itself if you were building a deck or addition though.
