Scilly.Suffolk-
Motors are more efficient (as I understand brushless only draws what power it needs from the battery, brushed draws max power regardless). Because of this, the motors can be made more powerful and still achieve good battery life. In theory you get a more powerful tool AND the battery can last longer.
Plus no brushes to change! (Not that it’s generally an issue for us DIYers)

Bit of a dredge, but tuppence on saws is CORDLESS circular saw (go brushless if you can), 240v track saw.
Cordless for rough work / construction / when you need to cut something quickly or in an awkward / precarious place.
240v track saw because half the point of a track saw is dust extraction, if you’re spending out on track saw, spend £50-80 on a shop vac with power take off. If you’ve got a hose connected might as well just plug it in and start the vac every time you start the saw.
