Same as the other day only two weeks earlier, I just cancelled my earlier order and placed this one, thanks!

I missed out on the Black Friday variant, seen it again for Cyber Monday and didn't hesitate. I also placed a second order and was able to use the $25 discount again. I added the rail clamps (191J52-3), 59" rail bag and a screwdriver kit. I needed the screwdriver and I want the Makita rail clamps since they attach to the underside of the rails/won't get in the way. The bag however, I don't care about its branding but it let me re-use the $25 coupon so I grabbed it @ half price.

If you've not had a track saw before, you'll eventually grow out if the clamps. Especially if just using the 55" track alone.

But the clamps will likely collect dust once you get a guide rail square. (I found a surprisingly accurate and affordable one on Amazon. I ordered it just out if curiosity, and I'm pretty shocked that it's really nice, and I didn't need to exchange it several times or just return it.)

But there are exceptions for clamps... I just haven't used mine in a while, and I haven't seen anyone using them as of late.

Good deal, but, if you're forkin' out ~$400 , ya gotta go cordless. Plus, while the 55" track is great, it won't be enough unless you're using it with an MFT type table for crosscutting.

Then, buy some knockoff batteries and charger (if not on the platform). And cycle through several the process of Powetec tracks (inspect each track, then go through the process of returning, and getting a new set to inspect, then returning, etc.) Until you get 2 good tracks.

No doubt I'll get downvoted into Oblivion... so I might as well say it...
At the end of the day, you'll have a nice track saw... designed for lefties. Yep. Right blade track saws are for lefties, and people that don't mind crawling on the floor now and then.

And sadly, there's no such thing as a good left blade track saw on the entire planet. Kreg makes a corded one, but it's the same price as the Makita, and as good as the WEN.

So... while it is a great deal with getting the track, basically for free... you'll rue the day ya bought the corded one. And if ya wish you could make all your rip cuts on your right side, you wonder why no one has made a good left blade version yet. (The answer is Festool refuses, so other companies have no left blade track saw to copy.)

You're obviously an experienced woodworker, but some of the advice you give here is so strange and nonsensical

Track saws have fantastic dust collection, if you're running a hose for dust collection it's no extra work to be using a corded version, especially since you can plug the cable into a dust extractor which will automatically turn on when you turn on the track saw.

Basically there are no downsides to a corded version and there are huge upsides like not having to worry about batteries decaying over the years
