Only a 210mm dia blade.

Most do seem to have a 210mm blade.

What about this one at Argos, it seems to offer a much longer width of
cut?

width != depth

That Argos one still only has a maximum 65mm depth of cut. It does
have a marginally longer slide (width of cut) though 310 v 205mm.

Looking at the two pictures the Lidl jobbie has a boss that is where
one would expect the 2nd axis of rotation to be for a CMS, so maybe
it is SCMS?

I think it's this
one:

Which does have 2nd pivot but only 45 deg in one direction not both.
I suspect that makes it even more mind mangling to use for compound
mitres.
