Portable Table Saw, What to buy

I want to buy a portable table saw. I am looking for feedback as to which kind to purchase. I currently like the Dewalt but Rigid seems good and I like the wheeled bench that is available for it. Any recommendations or problems you may have had with either of these two models. Thanks

I recently purchased the Dewalt. 64 lbs. and has the rack and pinion rip fence. I am THRILLED!!! This saw is very powerful and smooth. The rip fence with the rack and pinion drive is almost guaranteed to stay square with the blade both front and back. the only down side was the price ($499.00) but for me it was well worth it! Good luck!
