More power than a corded circ saw.
I use this daily cutting 2" hardwood countertops.
Note that this only uses the 60v batteries, not the 20v.
So all your other 20v tools CAN use the 60v batteries, but this tool CAN'T use the 20v (hope that makes sense).

Stanley Black and Decker makes Dewalt. In the past they also made a Craftsman 60v self propelled lawnmower. They didn't make any replacement batteries, so withing 1-3 years the lawnmowers were inoperable due to battery defects and just dying out.
I'm still not sure if the blade right or left was due to technical limitations (motor rotation direction?) or just preference. Funny how preferences are different based on geography.
Same with commercial trucks having Dayton spoke wheels in the east, but pretty rare in the west.
But for ripping (long cuts) and cutting things that are secured (i.e. I'm not holding it with my left hand), I like to stand to the left of what I'm cutting and use a blade left saw. I get great visibility of the cut, and I can walk along with the rip cut.
I think this is why most 7-1/4 framing saws are blade right, and 6-1/2 trim saws are blade left, with the exception of the "West Coast worm drive" which is a bit of a freak in the rest of the world. In Europe no one uses a worm drive.

I would imagine this one has plenty of extra oomph for hardwoods and big jobs.
I have a 60V battery I use as 20V, but it's one of my worst performers. Maybe a dud?

Would you say those upgrades are worth the extra $? I'm looking to replace my old Skilsaw and would prefer a "blade-left" model, most people seem to agree this is a good saw but if the other variant is the same but better I may just hold off.
It's a nice saw for sure. Keep in mind, the worm drive style can't be used one handed very easy. I think it's easier to hold a straight rip with it though.

I have both saws. Had this one, love it, but wanted the blade on the left. Bought the "worm drive" one. Barely use it. It is very heavy and elongated. Like notslow said, good for long rips and such but for everyday stuff this one is easier to work with. My $.02
