Last spring I was looking for a new quality metal cutting saw and considered abrasive and band saw. I actually ordered the top of line Milwaukee 14in saw on amazon - they said out of stock. I had ruled out the band saw option due to room and portability issues. Came to find out that Milwaukee had discontinued their high end abrasive saw. They listed a 14in cold cut saw which I was not familiar with so I checked it out -liked it -canceled the abrasive saw order and tried to order the cold cut saw. Discontinued!! Did a bunch of research and bought an Evolution 380. It is a bit heavy but portable -cuts fast and accurate and makes one heck of a chop saw on the side. Just my take -I like tools that are well designed -well built and as versatile as possible. Good luck.
