Default contractor saw purchase advice

Am considering buying a contractors saw. Was looking @ Delta #36-680
and it looked good. Would appreciate hearing from anyone having one
fence staying true, other settings etc. Also looked @ Jet 708775.
Higher priced. Is it worth the difference etc.

I used that same Delta saw for about 4 years. Was very happy with it. Good
accuracy and it stayed true. The only upgrade I might suggest is a linked
belt. It made the blade run much more smoothly.

Good luck,
