Reading between the lines, it sounds like you are after a contractors
style table saw rather than a full sized one. (although if you have
space for a full sized one, a second hand pro level machine from ebay
etc might be a better bet).
Of the cheaper contractors saws, the lower end Charnwood often gets a
mention:

The cross cutting performance with the included mitre guides can often
be a bit suspect on smaller saws, however so long as you can get the
blade parallel to the guide slots in the table, then its easy to make a
cross cut sledge that will give repeatable accurate cuts.
The £159 one looks identical to the one I used to have from B&Q. I paid
£30 for that one.
It was useless at anything other than ripping and the table bent.
It was heavy so I gave it away to save space in the shed.
My neighbour has a table saw if I need to borrow some time on one.
