I hear you, I too like the big stationary saws. With one big company I was with, we would have an almost cabinet shop level tablesaw set up, outfeed table, fancy fence, I seem to recall it was the Biesemeyer brand.

But these days I need to be mobile and this new rigid is not bad all in all. Sometimes I need to make room in my shop so I can work on my car during the winter. Being able to fold the saw and roll it out-of-the-way is pretty handy.
