One thing you can always count on when you ask for tool advice here is
that
whatever your declared budget, at least half the responders will
recommend something in excess of it.
I suppose this post is no exception.


This is often done with good reasoning behind it. The OP want to upgrade.
If he buys a $500 saw, he will be looking at the $750 ones in a few months
and covet the fence. If he had no saw at all, he may be very happy for a
few years with the $500 model. If you want to step up, make it a
reasonable large and long term happiness one. We've all done the former
and that is why we suggest waiting to get the "right" tool for long term
use.

Otherwise known on the wReck as the "Cry once principle". A point of view
to which I subscribe.
