I think you might be better off reading
the Tools and Shop Issue and comparing
all the Hybrid saws. The top choice saw
for quality and value was the Woodtek
Hybrid which they indicate has a street
price of a little over $700. The Woodtek
was rated as having the most power of
all the hybrids. If you really want cheap
you can get one of the new Craftsman
Hybrids on sale very cheaply and they
are much better than their old contractor
saws, and favorably mentioned by friends
who own them.
