The issue is that it’s a multi material blade for wood and metal, rather than just a wood blade that will give a cleaner cut. And by the time you’ve spent the cash on an extra blade, you’re in the Makita price range anyway.
I’d say that if you plan on maybe cutting soft metal or doing rough work (like using it to cut up stuff that might have nails or screws in) the evolution might be handy with 2 blades, otherwise I’d go Makita.
Edit: From memory it used to be that the bore size on the evolution meant that spare blades had to be evolution ones. But you can get this saxton blade for cheap and it comes with a reduction ring so it will fit the evolution saw

The 20mm bore size is actually much more available than I remembered so a spare blade will be less than £20

Are replacement Evolution blades poor quality too? Or just the one that comes with it?
