Default Festool TS-55 or Festool TS-75 Plunge Cut Saw

I'm about to throw a bunch of money into the Festool Plunge Cut Saw,
simply because I cut alot of plywood and I cut off doors onsite. A
panel saw setup just isn't portable and it's too spendy. I've seen
this bad boy in action and it looks like it's exactly what I need. I'd
like to know if there is any real advantage to getting the heavy duty
TS-75 Model if I'm only cutting plywood and an occasional hollow or
solid core door. Should I pay the extra $120 for the TS-75 or should I
buy the TS-55 and spend the $120 on accessories for the system? I'd
really like to hear your opinions. There hasn't been alot of
discussion online about this tool.

I asked the same question on the Festool site. Answer was to buy the small
one unless you need the extra capacity.
It seemed to me that the extra power from the big one would be nice, but
they say it is not necessary.
