100% get the Bosch. The dust collection will be way better - it has extraction from the blade guard and also a chute behind the cut. I'd spend £100 on lung health and a clean site any day.

Ditto what @dbr says.
That is a cracking price for the bosch.
I'd also add that chop saws are about accuracy and that costs money.
Another big plus for Bosch is their warranty which can be extended to 3 years if you register the tool within a month of purchase - I once dropped an impact driver form the top of a 5m tower swept up the bits of former tool and battery put it in a jiffy bag and sent it off to Bosch with "I dropped it" on the paperwork and got a replacement tool and battery within the week.

This might make you feel better about buying the Bosch:

I’ve wanted that Bosch for ages, mate has one. It’s compact, lightweight, accurate, good dust collection, really good horizontal cutting capacity, and at that price it’s a bit of a steal. If I wasn’t skint I’d deffo be tempted for £211!

I’ve been using one of these to make some custom door casings.
It’s absolutely spot on. As accurate as you’ll ever need and really versatile. I’ve teamed it up with a hoover for dust extraction if I’m doing more than a few cuts.
