Yeah, I third the table saw. If you want a bit of both, you can seek out a smaller sized table saw. I also agree that with proper jigs, fences and clamps, anything done with a miter saw can be done with a table saw. Miters are quick and best used for construction. As far as brands, Porter Cable, Milkwaukee, Dewalt, Hitachi, et. al are good.
