What most folks miss is the difference that a good fence system can make. The other features are peripheral to the fence. If the fence is a PITA to set, then the saw is a PITA to use. A good fence does not need nudged, bumped or banged each time it is set. A good fence does not need checked each time it is set.
Whatever "cheap" saw you get, at least ensure that you can upgrade to a good aftermarket fence. Avoid saws integrated fence systems. The saw table should have flat front and back edges, not a molded in "groove" or "channel".
A $300 fence on a $200 saw makes more sense than a mediocre fence on a $500 saw.
