I bought the saw with the T2 fence in February from Amazon it was $649 to
the door.
The guys sat it in my garage with no problems. I am very pleased with the
saw.
There was one issue which was a cracked table insert, I called Delta and a
nice lady asked a few questions mostly related to serial number and my
address and they had one on my door step in 2 or 3 days no charge.
In my opinion it is an excellent saw for a home owner / hobby wood worker,
mine is very repeatable and makes a nice clean cut. It does everything I
expected it to do. This is not a critical statement when I say the hybrid
saw is not a cabinet saw .... many people that find fault with the saw seem
to expect it to be a low cost cabinet saw. The hybrid is closer to a
contractor saw than it is to a cabinet saw.
Good luck and enjoy your new tool.

I'm putting together my first workshop for doing crafts/furniture and I
am in the process of researching table saws.

I saw a really good deal on the Delta Hybrid table saw with a
biesemeyer fence (model 36-717) for about $600 (shipping is another
$100). This seems like a really good deal. But I've seen a number
of reviews in both directions on this saw (maybe the older reviews are
more negative than the newer).

I'm looking for opinions about this from people that actually have
experience with this saw one way or the other.

Also, are there any options in a similar price bracket that are as good
or better?

Thans for your advice.
