I think most of the posters are missing the point. The OP is asking
if a panel saw is the best solution for his situation, not the
cheapest.

Exactly. Many, despite evidence to the contrary, also seem to have it in
their heads that experienced woodworkers are doing this work. Though it
would be nice, I have no real need for a panel saw because I just don't cut
enough volume of sheet goods to make it worth the cost. The OP talks about
cutting 40 sheets at a time.
