I had the same track or circular or circular + guide trilema and ended up buying nothing :(
Didn't help that the 18v Milwaukee circular that is track compatible costs £££

Not an option :)
We have two grey ones (which we'll be using for flooring on the ground floor) sat in the living room at the moment, I need to get chopping on that so we can put some down in the hall, seal it then test oily bikes passing over it this winter.
They're ginormous (2.6 x 1.2m) and bloody heavy.
Milwaukee costs £££
And this is why I'm a DeWalt man!

I need a circular or plunge saw to chop up a load of Viroc cement boards (as featured in red on the Hackney Downs Grand Designs house!).
I'm doing a whole house self-build renovation, so whatever I buy is going to get plenty of use. It seems to make sense to buy a DeWalt circular saw (I'm already very much bought into the DeWalt 18v system) and use it with a track for cutting boards but then be able to use it for other jobs.
The other option is to get a cheap track saw like the Mac Allister one from B&Q and fit it with a decent blade, then buy a circular saw separately.
@dbr has also pointed out that I'll need a chop saw too (I had to google this - I've never even used a circular saw before so have no idea what I'm doing really).
Any pointers? Do I want 185mm or 165mm? Black Friday is coming, which is convenient...
