why not just rent one

Might well be the best way.

I doubt it and for the sake of £100 I'd prefer to buy.

Expect to pay £300+ for a good slider.

In view of the comments about set up and rigidity I'll go for the
simple one as long as it can cut 45 degrees through a 3 by 2.

Check carefully before buying - the cut capacity at 45 is smaller than
at 90. My first chop saw would do a 4x2 laid flat on the bed, but could
not mitre that size or cut it with the wood tall axis vertical.

The aldi slider's fine at £75 IIRC, but not there now. Any mitre saw will build a shed, even a rock bottom thing.

Hiring makes no sense.
