I have no problems with my TS3650 saw. The fence is dead on, and I have made minor alignments to the saw maybe twice in 3 years. FWIW, for a contractor saw I consider its performance to be excellent.
Put thumb pressure against the outfeed side of the fence. If it has any deflection its not dead on. This is one of the major differences. The rigid will deflect easily the powermatic will have none.
Over the course of a 5 or 6 ft board the cut will be off. The more flex the worse it will be.
