I am in the market for a PORTABLE table saw.

I have reviewed the archives and am still left with questions as to
which one to get.

Years ago I almost got the DeWalt DW744 (bright yellow with bubble
gum
dispenser option) but other issues demanded that I direct my
attention
to other things in life other than woodworking.

I note that Bosch, Rigid and Makita now have offerings similar to the
DeWalt.

I do understand that a contractor saw is a better value but I already
have an Unisaw sitting in the shop.

The saw that I am now looking to buy is to be used as a PORTABLE saw.
I
am past the years where I would place my Unisaw in the trunk of a car
to go to a jobsite.

I also have a $100 Craftsman portable saw that does fill a need on
occasion (like loaning tools to the neighbors) so I am not looking to
buy at that level of the table saw market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I tested a bunch of these for a contractor's magazine some time ago:
the Ridgid was best; the Craftsman was a close second.
