I've been looking at miter saws and checked brickseek. My local Lowes stores have the DWS715 listed for $219. Normal price is $299. YMMV. (brickseek shows $230.58 for Home Depot, but all my local stores are out of stock)
This DWS715 model is the single bevel, 12" blade but does not have the XPS Cross Cut Positioning System with LED light.

Note: There was a deal for the DWS716XPS saw at HomeDepot for $299 that just expired, which was a better deal IMO but shipping was 2 weeks out. DWS716XPS is a 15 Amp Corded 12 in. Double-Bevel Compound Miter Saw with Cutline LED.
Edit: Lowes does price match Home Depot, but I have not tried. Lowes Price match policy below.

For those who want "sliding" too, keep in mind a 12" saw is already pretty beefy. Once you add the sliding mechanism, it becomes pretty unwieldy if you ever plan to move it or use it as a "portable." Part of the thing with the 12" is that you don't need the "sliding" as much. In a smaller saw like 7 1/4 or 10", the sliding is much more important. But even in those the sliding mechanism does add a lot of weight and space. So decide what you need based on what sort of stuff you'll be cutting. There are so many options now, including both lower and higher-end battery-powered ones. But anyway I'll say again for a 12" DeWalt saw this is a nice deal!
*EDIT in reference to previous post, I think when I got mine (10+ years ago so not exact same model), there was the bonus saw stand as part of a promo. But I'm pretty sure it was over $300, more like maybe $349 (the stand was valued at $149 I think as the "free" promo). Anyway yes, you DO want a stand for this.
Now if I didn't live in Southern California and I actually had some space I probably wouldn't care but our "two car" garage needs to be organized or we can't put my wife's car in there.
Was also looking at the rigid one posted here today as well. I just don't want to throw a bunch of money into tools with no experience and be that guy. I already have stands that I can lock anything into.

I don't have a table saw or anything fancy. Steve Ramsey recommends a 10 inch nonsliding but he's got a table saw as his go-to. Seems like a 12 inch blade is way more expensive than a 10 inch, and sliding tends to make things slightly less accurate. I don't see myself cutting anything bigger than 2x4s so a 10 should do just fine, even without the table saw.
YMMV i guess. I usually spend a little too much for my own skill level so I'm trying to dial it back this time and take it slowly.
