One other thing about cabinet saws is dust control. None of the portable saws or contractor saws I've seen have a reasonable means of removing saw dust. It's both a serious mess to clean up and a potential fire hazard.

My Bosch saw has a dust collection port that's compatible with a standard shop vac. It works pretty well - easy to attach and detach, and gets most of the dust. Makes for a lot of noise in the shop, though, and I have to run the shop vac off an extension cord plugged in to an outlet on the other side of my basement so that I can get them on different circuits.
