In this day and age you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at
SawStop products.

There are several on the wrec who have purchased SawStop within the
last
5 years who can comment on specifics.

Excellent suggestion Lew! ;~) But sawstop.com is a shorter URL. ;~)

No back to the OP.

And in all seriousness this is not an inexpensive saw. Entry level is
probably going to cost an additional $1K over what you are currently
looking at.

Now something you should be considering. You obviously are serious
about this hobby and plan to continue woodworking since this is going to
be a replacement saw. Don't ask yourself if you can afford the SawStop,
ask yourself if you can afford to loose a finger or the expense of the ER.

There are other fine offerings but so far none have your back should
you, when you , make that mistake, have a lapse in judgement, or do
something stupid.

The first time the saw saves your butt is when the saw more than pays
for it self.
