There's another saw that looks the same but is cheaper.
$6.99 shipping.
10" vs 12" blade
Compound vs Dual Compound
Better guards on the Herc that are also adjustable
Laser vs LED Shadow Guide
Literally everything is much better on the Herucles.

Generally speaking, I think Dewalt is the top choice (first hand experience as well) when it comes to miter saws, and a lot of guys in the trades I know run Hitachi (Metabo Now), with overall good feedback.
If you are a hobby user, the ridgid with warranty is good middle option (in case something goes bad) if you dont need to depend on it for money making.
Overall though, the consensus is that nobody I know trusts the harbor freight choice. I personally own a few tools from there (mostly non power tools) and the few power tools I do, required basically tear down, grease, and rebuilding/replacing parts to get them to work adequately.
