I've heard nothing but raves about the BT3100 so I'm leaning towards buying one. There's one NIB available at one of the HD's nearby, but they still have it for $299, and even when the manager was told other HDs were selling them for $239, they wouldn't budge on the price. The BTS20 they have for $199, and has the wheeled base, which would be convenient to have.
The main reason we want / need a table saw is we're about to put new hardwood floors down on our kitchen. We also have a small room that we're putting engineered floor down in. Apart from those two projects, and possibly flooring a third room in the future, we have no immediate need for a table saw. For the sake of saving $100, is it better to get the BTS20 and spend $40 on a nice blade, or am I really better off buying the 3100 even though we only see using it for 2-3 small projects?
For what it's worth, if they had come down to $239, it'd be sitting in my garage right now.
Thanks for the input!
