re: Miter Saws: Sliding vs Non-sliding / What should I know?

I've had a porter cable 12" non slide with laser for over a decade and it still works great, although on some straight cuts i do have to lift the front up to finish the cut. . I've been eyeing the Dewalt 7 1/4" battery powered slider. Has anyone had experience with that one?

Batteries have come a long way, but I'd be leery of that. Cutting places a heavy, sustained load on a battery. I bought the little 4.5" dewalt 20v circular saw for working on my dock, and it's handy and keeps me from having 110v around water, but it's hell on batteries.
If you just absolutely need it to be portable I'm sure it's a good saw, but if you have access to A/C I'd use it for something like that.

I'm waiting for them to put a brushless motor in this saw. Unless you're currently a Dewalt 20V user, the Kobalt equivalent cuts a wider board and has a brushless motor for the same money.
