Well, after theives got yet another DW 708 from me, I went out and bought
the 718. The 708 wasn't very available any more. I'm really liking being
able to stand a 1" x 6" against the fence and mitre in both directions. The
dust collection deal is crappy though. Haven't figured out a non-awkward way
to carry it yet. That's about as far as I've gotten with it.

Any other pros or cons I should be aware of now that it's too late?
