No I have not actually used one yet. All the reviews I've read rate it
quite highly. I don't recall any of the reviewers mentioning anything
about having a problem with seeing the cut line nor the blade, but I'll be
on the lookout for it now.
The biggest complaint I've heard it with regards to the price.

Thanks.

Give us a review! *;~)

I can add one thing... there are times when either configuration works
a little better, but if I were to have only ONE... it'd be a barrel
grip.
The barrel will rotate in your hand, 360°, in effect, it adds another
axis.

A while ago, I was cutting out a sink hole for a drop-in sink. The
back side of the cut was under the windowsill and my top-handle
Milwaukee wouldn't go under the sill for me to complete the cut. My
Bosch 'just' made it under the sill. Caveat: One must remember that
cutting in a direction that puts the side-mounted switch (on the
Bosch) between the barrel and the wall makes shutting the saw off
impossible.
