I second the motion to invest a couple of buck in the recent Fine
Woodworking issue which has an excellent comparison test of hybrid table
saws.

Take the time to save up and move up to something more capable like the
Woodtek.

The problem with buying an eh-ok tool is that it consumes the space and
much of the money which could have been used to get something better.

Another issue with the Hitachi is that it is an uncommon beast which
will be harder to gets parts and accessories for than some others in the
future.
