i have the kobalt one. it is limiting to what you can cut but honestly it does 99% of what i need. it will rip a 2x10 but not a 2x12 and will not cut a 4x4 in one cut either if that helps.

If you’re just using it as a chop saw, it likely has enough capacity for most cuts.

Where it really starts to become obvious, especially if non-sliding, is the miters. Also if you needed to cut trim/molding the larger size is much more useful.

I’m a big proponent of buy once.
