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

2. I researched the hell out of track saws and came to this. Be aware that Makita makes track/guide compatible circular saws, that are kinda the best of both worlds (for example XSH08 18v version). You get 7 1/4" depth of cut, more power, ability to lock depth, blade guard, etc, but a base that can ride on guides/track just like a 6 1/2" track saw.
3. You can also adapt just about any circular saw to use track/guides. There are several options from Kreg, and multiple adapters from Makita (ie 198673-2) that use their track. This allows you to get into the track saw world for WAY cheaper, and with much more flexibility (ie. large saws, small saws, top handle, rear handle, blade left, blade right, corded, 18v, 36v, 40v, maybe even light metal???)
In the end, I decided not to get a dedicated track saw. Might be a great option for a cabinet maker with a small shop and no panel saw with limited space where a table saw isn't feasible, or a contractor who wants ultimate portability without fussing around with clunky adapters....but even then, I think the guide compatible circular saws are better all around for these use cases.....and for most people, multiple circular saws that can be adapted to track guides if needed are best. In the end, track saws are just way, way, way too expensive for what they are. I really don't get why they have to be so insanely expensive vs their very similar circular saw brethren.
Sooooo, if you missed this "deal", I wouldn't worry about it too much. Look at the XSH08, Makita adapters, or Kreg options (ACS table, accu-cut jigs, etc.) or Festool MFT table (similar to Kreg)

I'm leaning toward getting this kit because I own a nice Dewalt DCS578 60V Flexvolt circular saw that I'd miss a whole lot by going with a non-brushless corded version.

includes:
6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw (SP6000J)
6-1/2" 48T Carbide-Tipped Saw Blade (B-07353)
55" Guide Rail (194368-5)
Interlocking Case X-Large (197213-3)
Hex Wrench (783203-8)
Did you guys get your kit? Mines was finally delivered today and I'm not home to check. But from my security camera, it looked like they delivered me the track with no saw. I'm curious if you guys got the right thing and if the saw and track came in separate boxes.
My Amazon order status shows delivered so I'm perplexed.

Mine still say delivery on the 29th, I will update then.

I had the opposite problem. Saw but no track. Hopefully they're shipped separately and I'll get the track within a few days
Lucky assuming you guys aren't shorted parts that is/they're just partials.

I have no faith in this happening. Amazon doesn't normally ship items separately like this without at least marking them separately. Their logistics isn't this sloppy. I'll call them when I get home to confirm there is no saw. Please keep me updated if you call and I'll do the same.
I stand corrected. I called them and they said it was shipped in 2 boxes but they share the same tracking number. I was told to wait until tomorrow to see if the 2nd box shows up as there's no way to track the 2nd box (since it shares the same tracking number as the 1st).
My order updated to arriving Dec 28th, it hasn't shipped yet.
