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 think this is the link. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Metabo-H...1000990786
Can you share what you better about the Metabo?
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.
Tried to be sneaky and chose shipping at checkout. It bumps it up to $449 like you said. Bummer
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.

That's a good deal.
What wasn't a better a couple years ago

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.

I got this last year and didn't even know the light upgrade was a thing- this is awesome!!!

The good bits start just before 5 minute mark.
