Amazing price!
(amazon matched the Northern Tool price, 2 hour delivery)
Thanks OP. My credit card isn't so thankful, but… eh, it's only money. I'll make more.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sort of, but no, I don't believe the "s" stands for 'SawStop.'
The SD208 is made in Italy and for commercial saws with plenty of power, like 3hp and up.
The OP SD208s is a lighter and cheaper dado set made in China and as Freud says [freudtools.com], "Ideal for underpowered saws," that they list on the package that includes Bosch, DeWalt, SawStop and others.
It is hard on the brake of little saws to shut down a heavier commercial dado set that can be sharpened multiple times. Of course, you can use the SD208s on commercial saws, can touch up the teeth with a diamond card, but being more or less throwaway blades, I would keep the extra micro shims.

Did you look?
Ideally I'd want the cleanest cut for fine work, but in reality I mostly just cut 2x4's, at least right now

Ok... If you don't want to break the bank, this $25 Twin-Town [amazon.com]does a good job for an all around blade, including plywood. You can spend a $80 or more for a Freud [amazon.com], or a two blade pack of Diablo [amazon.com] for $95, but I don't think it is worth the cost of the red (or yellow or blue) teflon coating that I often have to sand off the wood. And then there is the Bosch [amazon.com] that has $20 off a $100
But... in my opinion, the best deal at this moment for a name brand quality blade is this 80 tooth Makita [amazon.com] for $33.45. With a 5% positive rake, it is good for ripping or crosscutting of plywood and hardwoods. If you are having trouble with crosscutting, like with a radial or a miter saw, try cutting on the push cycle instead of pulling. I don't think you will with a new blade, but the more positive the tooth rake, the more it wants to 'climb' when pulling and the blade is on the top. On a table saw, there should be no issue with the blade on the bottom for ripping or crosscutting.
