Teach me about miter saws

There seem to be tons of options, blade size, compound, sliding, dual sliding, etc... Prices run from <$100 to >$500.

I do stuff around the house from time to time. I'm getting ready to replace a bunch of molding (baseboards and casing around windows and doors and some crown molding). Within a couple of years, I'll probably be redoing the molding upstairs.

I'd like a decent quality model with decent performance, but I'm not a carpenter, so I don't need a top of the line shop model.

I just don't want to spend $300 to later find out that I'd have been fine with a $150-200 model. I also don't want to spend $150 to later find out that I got junk.

From what I've seen, "compound" and "sliding" are things that you want, but I bow to your more experienced opinions.

After 12ish years in my first house, I'm tired of using


Thanks
