I too looked at this one recently and decided in the end to get the
Ryobi one at £199.99 (88825). What won it for me was capacity (you can
never have enough, and with my previous compound saw there were too
many occasions when I could have done with another inch or two of
capacity).

Worth looking at genuine second hand ones on eBay as well. I picked up a
12" Makita LS1214 SCMS for less that the price of the Ryobi that way.

The ideal general purpose saw is probably something like the Makita
LS1013 - a two rail slide mechanism that will last and remain accurate
and graunch free.

Most of the 'shed' ones I've played with seem rather flimsy - too much
play or slop. Of course I'd expect Makita etc to be fine.
