Lowe'sDeal Details
This is a clearance item at a Lowe's I was in today in the Dallas Metroplex. Brand new and still sealed. Lowe's.com shows it at $369 for Father's Day, but I picked mine up in clearance for almost another $100 off. It's a great saw and replaces my dewalt miter saw which was not a slider and didn't have the laser.

Actually, there are some posters here that were pro's.... well, probably before you were born, but there are several reasons why the non-circular 8" saw went out of style a few decades ago.
The 8 1/4" and 8 1/2" blades cost just as much as the 10" and often the 12", with a lot less options available locally, while your 45 degree cuts with a slider are typically limited to about the size of the diameter of the blade, which give or take a little, is commonly about 8" with less teeth for longevity of the blade. You cannot even miter vinyl siding in the gables, while just barely cross cutting. You can't do miters on much over 2 x 6 material, let alone 2 x10 and 2 x 12. Etc.
If one is square cutting thin material, the sliding 7 1/4" is probably a better option for a cheap saw and cheap blades you can find anywhere. But if you are production framing and the cut man, you want the sliding 12" for the power and versatility of say, later crown molding, etc.
But, if on a budget, you can pick up a nice radial arm saw for less than $100 that will do most everything.... that is what I started on with an Uncle that made cabinets on the job site. They are as accurate as you set them up with infinite adjustments, but people are a bit scared of them and why they are cheap. I found a 10" on Craigslist for free.... just come and pick up.
