I agree to the value of them being well in excess of $100 when you are
going to use it.

But most people can buy them for much less, cuz only a small % of us will
use it.

Meanwhile, miter chop saws are going for $65 - $300 around here, and
definitely not worth it to me, as I like all 10 of my fingers.
