I have a DW779 with the light kit added and have had a Metabo 10" slider in the past.
The Metabo was weak, for my purpose, and a budget saw. The laser was unusable outside in all but overcast conditions.

The 779 is a beast as is every other 12" sliding miter. If you are not needing that cut size, I would aim for a good 10" slider.

I purchased the DW779 at the right price and mounted it on a Rigid MUSV. It's much too heavy to carry around.

As soon as I find a great 10" for the right price, I'll move back to one and let the Dewalt go.

Don't purchase the Dewalt rollingcart/ stand. It is heavy and it is junk. And yes, I have owned several other rolling carts to include Bosch.

Just my two cents and YMMV.

Said it was out of stock for shipping so I did pickup at store in Clearwater Florida. $399 with free gift which auto added the stand in cart at checkout.

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.
That's a good deal.

Agreed on the laser, I PM'd last year and got it for $325. Best SD I ever got.
No lasers were harmed to craft that product

Better deal years ago for this. Once I sold the stand for $250 the saw came to $110. Now that was a deal
What wasn't a better a couple years ago

Just throwing this out there... bought this same deal last year for $379... and it made me leave Dewalt for good.

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.)

I purchased this saw last year. It's a great saw. But my buddy suggested I check out his Hercules saw from harbor freight for $299 and it was superior in nearly every way. I returned the Dewalt and bout the Hercules with heavy duty stand for under $450.

Can you share what you better about the Metabo?
Piggy backing off rickyb0bby the sliding mechanism takes up a significantly smaller footprint on the Metabo. The laser feature is worthless outdoors but indoors it's a nice feature. Dust collection was a bit easier to hook up but again that's a small thing. The DeWalt is a beast but it is a little too powerful. The Metabo has a smoother operation. Also there are little plastic pieces on the 779 behind the blade. I'm not sure what they do but they all broke/shattered within a week and we had to remove the remains. Saw works fine without them though. I do more work with hardwoods than construction lumber fyi. I would have never bought the Metabo if it wasn't for a Slickdeal this summer but I am very glad I did. Both saws work just fine.

Lastly on the footprint. If this is for a small garage shop the smaller footprint is so much better on the Metabo I would not want the 779 in a small shop.

This is the 779 it's not unusual for it to be this price. It's nowhere near 699 usually. I've been waiting on the 780 to do this tho.

I own the Hitachi version of C12RSH, the original, not version 2. I don't have the DeWalt 779, but I researched it extensively. The advantage of the C12RSH over 779 is adjustability. It has independent left and right fences so that you can adjust them to be co-planer if necessary. The DeWalt fence is 1 piece and you are at the mercy of it to be co-planer coming out of the factory. There are micro adjustment knobs for miter as well as bevel angles after you made macro adjustments. This feature was taken away in version 2. As for performance, I am really impressed. Plenty of power. The factory blade is very good. I usually change factory blade immediately, but this one gave me no reason to. I don't have a Dewalt to compare performance to, but I can't imagine Dewalt is any better.

The Den of Tools on YT did a breakdown of 779 and 780. Looks like Dewalt cheapened internal parts of 780 to 779 level. And it looks like 779 was cheapened further

I bought the 780 for the XPS light, which is great. I just realized, however, that FastCap's $11 zero clearance tape gives me a more exact cut line. If I were to do it all over again, I'd buy the 779 and the zero clearance tape.
