Sawstop is the end of the diminishing return. Thousands of dollars on the last .001% of safety. Worth it? Up to you. Do you wear a helmet and a HANS device when driving to the grocery store?

On one hand, all it takes is one moment to lose your finger, on the other hand, not paying attention on one tool could lead to not paying enough attention on other tools which don't have the same safety mechanisms.

I'll let myself out the door now. 🤕

I've never tripped my SawStop due to a safety issue, the few times I did were because I hit my miter gauge because I forgot to adjust it or because the blade deflected and it was too close. Sure, it sucks having to buy a new cartridge and a blade when those dumb mistakes happen, but it sure is nice knowing that my finger would be safe if that accident ever happened.
I know a couple of people that lost fingers due to table saw injures, and they were all experienced woodworkers.
If somebody is anti-SawStop I'll never convince them. But for the rest of you: My SawStop contractor saw cost about $1000 more than another equivalent contractor saw (like a Delta). But for $1000 and the occasional $200 for that miter gauge trip, I know with near certainty that I won't end up like my buddies with a few fingers missing. 100% worth the investment for a tool I use every single day.
My only issue with SawStop is that they don't make a jointer!
I currently have a Ridgid jobsite saw with "universal" motor that is outrageously loud. I use hearing protection, but also have neighbors

I do think the contractor saw is underrated. Functionally you can do everything with it.
