I have to add my vote to the Bosch column. A friend of mine expanded the table surface area by building a larger top with an opening into which the saw fits. He adjusted the saw height to precisely match the plywood surface height. He also added laminate to the top to make workpieces slide easily.

Don't quite understand, Tom, the bosch 4100 has the expandable to the right table top with a flip of a lever, not sure how a cut out works.

I have the Bosch 4100 and it is a great little saw, I wanted a model to set on a base cabinet so took off the folding mobile stand to gain some room in the shop.

Imagine a large table with two layers of top. the distance between the two tops is slightly more than the height of the saw. Now cut out an opening in the top layer just the same size as the saw. Shim the feet of the saw and place it in the opening. Now you have a large, stable top that serves as an extension and outfeed table. My friend had a 2x4 attached to the ceiling that extended down and held a dust collection port just above the blade. He did a lot of woodworking for his boat and liked the extra support of an extended table. Just mentioning it because it was a nice setup. He could still take it out of his shop if needed. It was his personal preference.
