Well I buggered the name of the saw, its actually genesis:

I have a chop saw and it will do 2x6s, and the 10" circular saw. Both reside in the basement and are a pita to haul up. No room for a table saw, and I dont think I would use it enough to justify one.
I do occasional projects, and currently next on the list is a couple of closet orgs and shelfs. This will take cutting several 12 to 18 inch boards, etc. While doable with my Irwin guide and 10" circular, its not fast and usually ends with some saw wandering, and rigging some awful spacers since the track and clamps dont work well with the circular.
Another project is I need to replace some siding window trim which requires cutting some sheet siding into smaller pieces with fair precision.
Last several uses of the circular were cutting through sub 1" thick substrates where one was a 36" cut another couple were sub 24", and making a fake planter box which required cutting siding panels to 8" width by 46" long. And one more project that involved breaking down a 4x8 sheet of particle board, but cant recall what it was.
Small saw with a guide could probably do 80+ percent of all my cuts. As its an infrequent use tool I was looking at a corded setup. (My cordless tools are ryobi and their 6" battery circular just sucks) The Genesis saw has decent reviews and a track is available
I may drop real money on the dewalt track in the future but I just dont do enough wood work to justify one currently. Flip side being that if the small saws are junk I will make do with my current crappy equipment. Another option is to set up my wood work bench to do long cuts, but that will be limited in length to around 32" max and will result in me engineering some expensive contraption...
