I've got a Dewalt site saw, the DW745 and as awesome and as light as it is I'd swap it in a heart beat for a decent panel saw with lots of workshop space.
Don't get me wrong it's fantastic for site based sawing but it's limited in what you can put through it.
Anything over 50 - 60 mm thick and it'll bog down and the tiny table makes it really hard to break down sheet material which is something it's advertised to do.
Yes it'll rip an 8x4 sheet in half length wise in a single pass but it's a two man job...
My titan track/plunge saw gets a lot more use as its light and simple to setup and when using it with the makita 1400mm tracks makes cutting large sheets a doddle.
My next buy is a 3000mm track by makita to allow cutting a full length 8x4 sheet a doodle and extremely accurate.
