DeWalt vs Festool what do you think?

Hy,
I think I need your opinion with these saws. I want to buy Tracksaw so I´m not sure what should I buy. I have worked with Festool TS 55 EQ and I know it´s good tool but I don´t know about DeWalt DWS520SK which is cheaper and theres lot of good talk about it at web. Maybe some of you have experiance with these tools and can help me, Thanks.

If you were just going to use it once or twice, definitely stick to the dewalt.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

No I´m not going to use it for once or twice, I´m going to need it once or twice a week. For cutting plywood & furniture. I already found another company who makes plunge-cut saws it´s Mafell http://mafell.com/ I read about it and they say it´s goos as festool or even better.

Thanks, right now I think I´ll buy Festool TS75 EBQ Plus

I still like the festool. That would save a lot of time in the shop, chopping cabinet side panels 2 at a time.

I thought I`ll let you know what did I do. When my research was done then mostly I was told that Mafell is better than Festool. So yesterday I bought Mafell MT 55 with 1,6 meter guide rail and here is pic too.
