1: So, the overall construction is a bit "plastic-y" and flex-y. I've seen a number of reviews mention that, when cutting through very thick wood (like slabs), that a fully-extended blade would lead to some blade deflection...and a slab is one of the first things I'd want to use it with.
2: The track-holding clips on the saw seem to not be very reliable when cutting 45 degree bevels, and this is again something that I would be using this for quite often.
But most of all...
3: The tracks. The thing for which I'd be using it the most is cutting down sheet goods to fit into my car, and sometimes that will mean making 8ft long cuts. The saw only comes with a 2-piece* 55" track, so that would mean I'd have to spend more money to get a longer track. And here's where it really became clear that this wasn't the saw for me. Ryobi doesn't offer a longer track. And, it's not compatible with any other tracks. So that means I'd have to purchase additional Ryobi track sections, which they do sell, but still only in 27.5 x 2 = 55" packs. However, that would mean to cut a 96" sheet of plywood the long way, I'd need 4 track sections. The reason I put that "*" earlier was because it's not really a 2-piece track. The track itself is in two sections, but then to join them, you need two connector bars, and then each bar has 4 grub screws. So that "two piece" track is really 12 individual pieces. And once you add two more track sections, 4 more bars and the grub screws, you're up to 34 pieces. And in my mind, keeping track of (and trying to keep perfectly aligned) 34 pieces to make a single occasional 96" cut just did not seem like a lifestyle I'd want to rationalize and justify because of the cost savings.
So at $130, I could maybe justify it. And I've purchased a "blemished" lawnmower from DTO, and it may as well have been brand new, and has been trouble free for a year.

I use this one from Amazon with my cordless Makita. Like it as it's aluminum versus plastic that kreg has. Allows me to easily break down plywood.
