Even though everything seems to be in good order, something can still go wrong. Even though the table saw has "SawStop" written all over it, doesn't mean I treat it any different than a Delta. What I do know, is that my dad and myself are more likely to keep all of our digits, than when he had the Delta.

If the tool can save digits/lives, it performs just as well as the competitors and you could afford to spend the extra $$, wouldn't you buy it?
Probably not, because if it goes off accidentaly and trashes a $100 worth of components/saw blades and I have to wait for new replacement parts to finish my project, I would be p!ssed off.
