I haven't used any other brands to be honest. All the reviews / shootouts say Mafell though. The blade change and dust collection are worth the € alone.

I've got the Festool and likey, better than the Makita but they're the only two I've tried. Has a blade brake which is handy.

I've got the festool and the mafell. The mafell is a little bit better and a little bit more expensive. They suffer equally from the hoover hose detaching, but I think festool have come up with a new connector for the hose which locks on.
I still recommend getting the bulk of it cut and delivered, if not all of it. It makes sense for a one off when you don't have the tools to hand.

If you're gonna buy one, get the best. Mafell MT55cc*. Probably the best tool I own.
*Other, much cheaper saws exist.
