I used to have the MacAlister (think i paid 99) and as @bq says the anti-kickback knob was very annoying. It made moving the saw along the track very stiff (so much that if you did a scribe cut and then pulled it back to the start you would end up moving the track in some cases). I took it off.
Saw was good for a while but then started to not cut straight and there is no official adjustment so returned it to Screwfix. Splurged on a Makita instead and have to admit it's a lot nicer to use (sorry!).
