Looking for a reasonably accurate, reliable DIY saw, so considering the new entry level Makita.

Any experience or views on this saw? What compromises have been made compared to the well respected but more expensive saws from Makita?

Many thanks...

I am by no means an expert on this,but what I know is that at the tool store I work at,carpenters who own Makita miter saws insist on telling me how good they are,over and over again.

How do they compare to the entry-level Ryobi (here $99 for the 10-inch, $149 with the laser).
