Default Table Saw - 14" blade?

Seems to me I prefer a bigger saw than just a 10 incher. The table is
really small for a x-cut sled too. I know bigger isn't always better,
but it seems like the bigger table/power/resaw capacity of a 14" saw
really has its benefits. Any downside?

if you are willing to wait and buy when the right saw shows up you
shouldn't have any problem finding a delta 12/14 with a single phase
240 volt motor. lurk your local craigslist and auctions.

7" and 10" blades have the advantage of availability of lots of cheap
blades. 12" blades are becoming more common with the trend in larger
compound miter saws. cheap 14" blades are a lot harder to find. the
12/14 saw has the advantage of having a removable arbor. you can get
an arbor for it to run 10" blades to take advantage of your existing
blade inventory.
