The bigger table size gives you more control for ripping long stock. It is kind of difficult ripping stock > 4' on the small-ish table. I read in another table saw thread (I think it was a Ridgid table saw thread) that new industry safety standards dictate a table size to saw blade size ratio. That's the reason Dewalt dropped 7480 with a 10" blade and replaced it with 7485 with 8-1/4 blade". That's also the reason the current Dewalt 10" saw, 7491 has a larger table size. I don't know if this is true. Just repeating what I read. Does sound reasonable.
If you are just looking for a secondary portable saw, and you have a big one in your shop, than it's probably not necessary.
This is a great saw if you are looking to get into carpentry, but don't have the space, or want to spend the cash on a cabinet saw.

This is true about the safety standards. No one makes a 7 1/2 table saw anymore. It is annoying because it seems like that is still kind of a niche size. I have the new Skil table saw. I was about to get this table saw, despite having a hard time justifying the price. I saw VGC review the new Skil (didn't even know it was released) and my local Menard's had it in stock for retail ($299). It can take a dado, 10" blade, better than 24" rip capacity, built in stand, and the same rack & pinion style fence. It probably has some additional chances of being a dud in terms of square out of the box. Thing to know is the maker of EGO recently bought Skil. This was their first new table saw and reviews have been super favorable. They have also started a new cordless line - no idea how it ranks since I was already invested in a different company.
Just throwing this out there since, as an occasional DIYer/woodworker, I had a hard time with the cost of even the 8 1/2" Dewalt.
How big is it and its the foot print when folder up? I have searched but had no luck. Thank you!

I bought the deal for smaller Dewalt, didn't even open it yet. I am considering Skil you described (which model you had in mind?) . I rarely use table saw these days, more flexible one could be better choice

It is at a bunch of places, but I think it suffers from supply issues because of demand at that price point. I have used it for a few projects and I am very relieved I spent about half of what I was going to spend. Truth is I rarely try to cut down sheet goods so a 32" rip capacity is great for like 10 cuts in my lifetime. I do have a Kreg ripcut, which would be able to be set to 16" easily enough and get the same result (or set my table saw to 16" and have a helper or two).
In those 3 weeks I've done nothing but watch woodworking videos (thinking I'll start as a new hobby, transitioning my trim work skills). Now I know what dados are, etc.
I figured I can just cut dados with a router, and I wouldn't want to swap out the stack in the table saw all the time, but then I got to thinking that dados using the fence on a table saw would be much more precise than "freehanding" with a router.
Thoughts?

It comes down to a few things :
Max rip capacity
Dado support
Thickness of material
If you're happy with the 8.25" numbers, save your money.
I have the unit in this deal. It is phenomenal. With that said, my suggestion would be to keep what you got and if you ever out grow it to then look into either a contractor saw or even a full cabinet saw.

Instead or freehanding with the router, you could get a router table. 😉 more tools 😆
