You can usually pick up a really great old saw for about 60 bucks (40 US, and they show for free). I have owned 4 of them, and prefer them for home shop use. Unfortunately I have lost several to floods. The only reason I would run one of those contractor saws (unless I was actually a contractor, would be if weight was a major issue. And it is for me due to the floods.
I really like the Rockwell, or Beaver, 9" saw with the contractor or cabinetmaker base. Or the Pointras 1300 is a tank.
I have at least 30 stationary power tools in my shop. I can buy whatever I want and currently have an Inca for my moveable saw. But if you are on a budget, you can certainly find something nice.
