   Dewalt bought PC and Delta last year, its likely some pc stuff will be discontinued.  I think they'll keep the pc and delta for the woodworking but they'll stop the contractor tools pc makes, or switch them to dewalt names.

   I have the rigid, it's fantastic.  The only time I dislike it is when I have to set up on the second floor, or loading it in my van.  It's heavy, but not bad with the dolly/stand to roll around, lifting it is another story.

   How do you plan to use the saw?  Like the other guys said, the Bosch and the Ridgid are both great tools, though heavy with the wheeled base.  I have the Bosch with the old folding base, and it works great for me doing finish work.  I have used the Dewalt quite a bit, also a good saw and the fence is really nice, but it's not as heavy-duty as the other saws.  If you work alone, that might be fine; with other guys using it, not as fine.

   Makita in a Rousseau table is a good option too.
