Blueman, I don't know the answer to your question about which miter saw
to buy. I have the 12 inch compound DeWalt. However, I think if I was
doing it again, I'd stess the dust colection features/ Using my DeWalt
inside my garage/workshop creates a dust strom. I'm in the process of
building a giant hood that connects to my dust collection system. There
msut be a better way...
