The other tool I was thinking of is a Dremel Ultra-Saw. Check out the last image in the gallery here [homedepot.com]- looks like it can get damned-near flush cuts. In fact, that image looks exactly like what you want to do.
My previous usage of that saw, I borrowed it from a coworker to cut laid tile to expand a vanity - that is, cut the tile already installed. I did buy a new blade for the purpose but it worked like a champ and it allowed me to get very close to trim
Yesterday I stopped at an estate sale on the way to walk my dog. Nothing I wanted, but they had 5bf of 12/4 Honduran mahogany for $5. Incredible price, but I would never use it, so I let it go. Walking my dog 3 miles it was all I could think of, so I stopped on the way home and bought it.
They come out cleaner than my wet saw and Monolit manual cutter. Only drawback is it's more time consuming. However, my last project used 16"x47" (bedrosians textuality) tile which doesn't fit in either cutter anyway so I didn't have a choice.
If you're cutting down the long edge, make sure to support it by hand to prevent it from prematurely breaking off.
Also, I attached it to a shop vac to minimize dust. Contrary to what some might say, I used it with a wet sponge and have had no issues. It does gum up after a while, but just use a toothbrush. I've done over a hundred cuts and used 4 blades so far. Still works great.
You won't be disappointed using this for tile

That being said, you can get a much straighter and cleaner cut using the larger saw. The larger saw also has more power and can cut deeper. So, if you have to get only one, I'd recommend getting the 6-1/2" saw.
BTW, I don't own a 6-1/2" circular saw, but I do have a corded 7-1/4" one. However, between my 4-1/2" DeWalt and my Makita 10" miter saw, I find that I almost never use the 7-1/4" saw. So, the decision of whether the 4-1/2" or the 6-1/2" saw is a better fit for you also depends on what equipment you own.
Just understand that while it can do certain things the bigger tools can do, it might not be the best option.
