I've just finished building a couple of crosscut sleds, so I can share my veiwpoint (and keep an old thread alive while I'm at it!)
I have miter slot tables on both sides of the saw, a configuration which sort of begs for a cross-cut sled. It also makes the throw from the SMT to blade kind of long. The part of the SMT that sticks out in front of the saw just is not convenient in my small shop, so I have taken to removing the SMT frequently. This means it would have to be checked for square nearly every time I installed it.
And there you have it.
