I've got an Evolution mitre saw which has been great. Not as smooth or quite as quick to start up as the Festool at work but very good value for DIY. Also got an Evolution track saw recently but haven't used it yet! Seems good though.

For a mitre saw metabo have been recommended here. For track I think Titan is your best option.

Track saw - The Titan is now called a McAllister but it’s the same saw. It’s a good saw, and the track is compatible with Makita and Festool if you need longer track.

Evolution have been pretty good IME, not for heavy trade use, got a regular 240v corded circular saw for cutting pallets and general rough work. They use an odd size of blade so don't expect to get one cheap or easily. But the stock blade is decent enough, lots of teeth good for reasonably decent work, tracks nice.
Would defo budget for two blades over whatever comes with whatever you choose. 1 with less teeth for rough work and just getting it done, and one with much small fine teeth for when your cutting finished/visible edges.
Proper track saw is a beautiful thing, but honestly for most DIYer an average circular saw with a £20-40 blade in good condition and a bit of experience and you'll be happy.

I need to buy a track and mitre saw. Anyone bought anything on the more budget end that does a good job? Titan, evoloution etc?
Other option is buying a big table saw.
