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.)

Oh, and this saw is a MONSTER...big and heavy! You are going to want the Dewalt stand or other dedicated table or surface to mount it on. The included stand is very functional and has several adjustments to help hold material in place while you cut. I waited a long time for a well-made miter saw, and this has exceeded expectations by far.

One more thing, the Dewalt seems flimsy and plasticky compared to the Metabo. That was surprising to me.

edit: Tried to do some checking and it appears the $399 may be a local price? On my main lowes page it says $399 but if I change delivery to shipped, it says out of stock and changes the price to $449 when it bumps me back to checkout. However, if I leave it for store pickup or curbside it allows me to checkout at the $399 price.
