Dewalt version is the same price
I bought this Dewalt 12" miter saw about a year ago and really, really like it. It's currently at $350 on Amazon which is a pretty good deal.
Dewalt 12" sliding double bevel miter saw - $324. Regular Price is $349 so it's not an amazing discount but this saw usually doesn't go on sale at all. It's the exact same saw as the $500 DWS780 except it doesn't have the laser line. The rails on this saw stick out way far in the back, so it's annoying if you want to put it up against a wall, but otherwise this is a real nice saw.
I got the 779 from amazon for 350. I couldn't find a good one on CL
