buy a manual mitre saw
Yes. Jigsaws are only really good at the jigsaw part (unless are supper skilled).
If space is a real issue you could just get the saws and made some kind of jig that you can disassemble. But they're not that big.
Just to check do you mean one of these

Or one of these
?As one is obviously much bigger and the other fine for occasional use.

Trying to avoid purchasing an 18v mitre saw for price, size and energy requirements. I’m not going to be cutting too many batons, the ones I do are going to be 2x2 max, nor do I need compound cuts.
Can I get away with using a jigsaw + guide rail (preferable as already have and will need for other jobs) or should I buy a manual mitre saw which I assume with do a better job but need more storage space.
