This is like asking SUV or truck? It depends on what you need them more often for. Yes they can both do some of the same stuff, but there are things each cAn do that the other can't. I will say though that the difference between an entry level table saw and a top end one is enormous compared to the difference between a cheap miter vs good miter.

That's because you can spend $5,000 and more on a shop table saw and even an over-priced Festool miter saw won't make it to $1,000 but if you think there isn't a world of difference between a DW716 and a Harbor Freight saw then you've never done much work with one. I'm building a large deck now where the customer wanted to me use his old Delta single bevel 12" saw, gave up on it used my skilsaw after an hour. Brought out my DW716 the following day and it's no comparison, the better saw simply made cutting wet treated 2x8's, 2x10's, and 4x4's easier and faster. Had a thread recently about contractor table saws, go look it up. Some said that the difference between cheap saws vs $400 saws didn't matter in that thread too.
