Tools: Compound Miter Saw?

I need (well, want) to buy a compound miter saw to use in replacing molding around our house, and possibly helping with a stripper I plan to build in the future.

I'm looking at the Delta 36-085 that cuts both right and left bevels, or the Delta MS275 or MS250 that cut only right bevels. Difference in price is about $100 between the 36-085 and MS275. The 36-085 is also an 'Industrial" model compared to the "shopmaster" level for the MS series. Both levels use 15 amp motors.

Any recommendations -- Delta or otherwise? These are 10" saws. How important is it to be able to make both right and left bevel cuts?
