I have one of these. Been fine for most diy stuff, especially any rough work.
Have been meaning to pick up a higher toothcount blade for finer work (skirting, architrave and whatnot), but have got by with sacrificial pieces so far. Couple of times I've been annoyed it doesn't have a depth stop, but that's more from laziness and using my brother's super-fancy massive cordless thing, than anything else.

Finally chose a mitre saw and have just got round to collecting it.
Went for this DeWalt DWS773-GB for two reasons, 1. It was down to £150 - so just in budget and on sale, 2. The rails are meant to extend out to the front rather than poking out the back (if that makes sense?) so it packs down smaller and takes less bench space.
Only sad thing is its got to stay in my mates lockup until I make some room. Just thought I'd grab it when it was on sale at Xmas in case the price went up and I later regretted it.
Will report back once I get a chance to use it.
