I had owned a DWS779 for many years, and it was an amazing SCMS. And last year when I seen the sale, I jumped on it.
Little did I know how much Dewalt had cheapened the saw from the 779 of the past. Many of the aspects that made it a "DWS780 Without the Light" were gone. So many things that made it great...
(Copy/paste to save time)
1. Saw now only cuts 13.75" wide not 16" as advertised (huge change)
2. Kerf plate is no longer split and cannot be adjusted
3. They removed a few bevel stops.
4. There is no more slide lock lever.
5. The motor itself bogs down quickly compared to the older versions. This is straining the motor, and in turn, shortening it's life span.
They took a once amazing saw that was the best value in SCMS, and turned it into a Yellow Craftsman Sliding Compound Miter Saw.
So be forewarned... this will be more of a DWS778.9. And it is not a very good deal at this price, for this saw.
Look into the Makita and Bosch. I love the Bosch now, and find it better than the DWS780. (I only with the Newer Cordless Bosch had the option of being battery powered, and corded. I'd have bought that one instead if it came with both options.)

It may not work as well under full sunlight, but that's not a problem for me.
This shadow light system is on the top of the line 780's. That saw is currently $150 more and doesn't come with the free stand.

I bought this myself and it's been an awesome bonus feature, with accurate cutting
Yup.. You are right. I guess I'll pull the trigger.
This one is $399 on Amazon

I got this for 299 from acme tools a couple years ago. Have used it for a number of projects, including trimming out my basement. I'm really happy with it, especially with an upgraded blade for trim work. Still need to add the light though.

Thanks op. Was waiting for a dual bevel compound deal and this was worth the wait.
