I love mine. It's a great alternative to 10 sliders priced in $400+ range IMO. All basic DIY projects can be done with 8 crosscuts - flooring, trim, framing, decking, fencing. Some hardwood stock will come in 10+ width but I'm willing to flip those boards when I have to. 715 is pretty compact so I finally have a dust enclosure/cabinet for my miter saw - makes the "shop" so much cleaner.

Everything seems to be going up in price from the ongoing debasement of the dollar, so I would not get wired into waiting on the low of the lows of yesterday if you need it now. But, if you need to build another shelf to store it on, then yea, waiting could save $20 or so.
But yea, it could be a bit much for a hobbyist...
Personally, I started out with radial arm saws that do everything and more, such as rip.... and today, nice used ones can be found cheap ----many people are afraid of them and they can be dangerous, especially if you don't use the correct blade that is negative rake to pull, but positive rake will work if you push..... Then again, same is true for sliding miter saws. From Craigslist, I bought a nice 10" radial arm saw with stand for $65 last year and can consistently find them for around a $100... pass on the junk ones. You need to learn how to set one up by downloading a manual and then good to go.
