I picked up the Dewalt 20v sliding miter, 7.25 blade, last year and have a few thoughts about it.
1) it is Very light any easy to transport... lightest one around best I could tell.
2) Does a great job with white wood and poplar, oak/maple trim is good too but a 5/4 1x6 will take some patience.
3) If you're chopping PT 2x4's all day, this is not the tool to use.
4) in hindsight, I would have been happier with the dual-battery Makita version (36v) that my friend has...little extra weight, but still compact and able to serve as a corded replacement
The cordless table saws don't appear to give any size/weight advantage over the 795 series.
As a side note. the 36v Makita rear-handle (pseudo worm-drive) is an impressive tool...only time I got it to work hard was on 3 pieces of 3/4" PT plywood stacked...
