I am considering whether or not to get a Chicago Electric Power Tools
12" Sliding compound miter saw, as it is going for only $179. The
dewalt (which is the brand most of my power tools are) equivilent is
about $600.

Should I go for the Chicago or get a cheaper 10" non sliding from
dewalt?

Does anyone have any experience with the Chicago miter saws?

First of all the $600 Dewalt is not an "equivalent". LOL!

If you don't need a slider, the cheaper 10" from DeWalt would be the FAR
better choice. or a Makita
