Just flipped through the newly arrived issue of Wood Magazine. They had a review of rail guided circular saws. The covered Festool, DeWalt, and Makita. The also listed the price for each one. I always assumed that the Festool would the much more expensive model, but the price is right there with the other two. And for another hundred or so, you can get the big Festool saw and the longer rails. Seems like a no brainer.
