Would you pay $100 for everytime Sawstop fired or misfired to replace
the parts?

If the choice was that or 1600 bucks for a new saw, then the answer is
obvious.

Would you be comfortable installing safety mechanisms
yourself?

From what the sawstop people say, replacing the cartridge is in the same
order of difficulty as replacing a fuse. No "installing" required beyond
pull out the old one, stick in the new one. If it's more complicated than
that they've got a problem.

Personally, I would answer No to both questions and therein
lies the dilemma for being commercially viable in the hobbyist market.

How about in a pro market?
