My .02 would be along the lines of:
If you think you will be learning and applying the lifelong skills of woodworker, then save a few more dollars and get the absolute best tool you can find / afford now. It will more than pay for itself in the long term.
If, on the other hand, you plan to use it once or twice a year to cut the occasional project board or three, then look for a tool with the features you think you might like at a price that fits your wallet. Don't be surprised when you have to replace it.
