Was down to Rockler's this morning and stopped by Lowe's on the way home to
look first hand. Overall I think I liked the PC the best. The shoe looked
better to me and was easily adjusted. Think I like the right blade tho,
altho never used the left blade. Your right bout the dust port, useless
perhaps, at least it has a cap on it. Too bad Rockler doesn't sell them. Got
a 25% off coupon for the Thanksgiving sale. Thanks for the reply.

I've got the left-blade PC, and I'm happy with it. But I'm no expert...
I
don't think I'd want to hook up the saw to a shop-vac or dust collector,
as
I think having the extra hose would get in the way, and make it much more
awkward to cut. I use a Freud Diablo blade on mine, and it makes very
nice
cuts on plywood.

Have been looking(online at Lowe's) at circular saws. Want to have a
good
one with a finishing blade for cutting ply, and hardwood, rip and
crosscut.
Going to be using it for miter cuts and ripping pieces of wood that
would
be
awkward at best on my smallish table saw. Work space also limits adding
support tables to TS. I have seen, online the DeWalt, Milwaukee, and PC.
The
PC looks interesting with the dust port that I can rig to my portable
DC.
I
would like an easy to adjust shoe, which looks like the DW and the PC.
Sooo, any thoughts on this. I have an old Skilsaw that was my dad's, but
think I'll keep it for use on MDF and rough cutting. Thanks.
