OP, you will need a way to cut tiles.
Our tile guy quit early on in our project so we decided to DIY. Spent more than $1500 in tools to finish the job (not supplies even, just tools.). Large format tiles required a $1k damn tile saw that we hope to never need again.

Wut? How large are the tiles exactly?
I did my whole dining room (roughly 500 sq ft) using 18 x 18 tiles with a small crappy Skil wet tile saw and it cut perfectly.

I'm not a pro but I've done my fair share of tile and I've watched others do a ton more. For natural stone you can just use a basic wet saw, for anything man made a $50 manual tile cutter and grinder is all you need. That's what all the immigrants use, very simple and basic and gets it done.
Given that, the Dewalt is awesome and you can easily resell that $1000 saw for $500-750 if not more.
