I doubt if price is going to be the only determinant. A contractor needs a saw that will not break down, and safety features become very important for insurance reasons. Additionally, a serious accident will generally shut down a work site and that costs money also.
A contractor could easily lose a lot more than the few dollars s/he saves buying the cheapest job site saw.
