You can't see the advantage just by looking. You have to actually *use* it to
tell the difference -- which is that the Bosch cuts straight, and the
Craftsman (as you have discovered) does not.

The craftsman is convertable to barrel grip, has a LED work light, laser,
blower and vacuum, tooless blade change, cast foot and about $100.00 less
than the bosch.

Yep -- and there's a reason for that cost difference (see above).
