I am currently working on a project where there is a saw stop job site saw on site and I have spent some time behind it. Just as a note I own a dewalt dwe7491rs.
I am not going to comment on the safety nor do I wish to bring this topic up its just a mini review of the table saw itself. First off build quality is on par with the dewalt( and Bosch and makita and ridged for that matter), BUT does not surpass any of the other offerings in my mind. The stand is stable once set up. The riving  knife is nice(not as good as the current dewalt offerings). I find, just my opinion here that the saw is more pleasing to listen to than the dewalt and seems to vibrate less(ie belt drive). The fence is not as good as the dewalt as no matter how tight, it flexes on the exit end and moves when clamped. I find it ironic on the safe saw the fence is just average as a good fence definitely makes a table saw safer. It's better than the garbage on the makita. Power seems good. Maybe a little better that the dewalt definitely less than the makita. The flip out piece to support wide work is simply hinky and needs improvement. Well that's all for now. It's not worth 1500 unless you have to have the safety gizmo. I prefer my dewalt, why it's the fence stupid.  So to all the other manufactures please do not bother making a job site table saw unless it's as good or better than the dewalt's fence.

I have used the Sawstop jobsite saw since March. It works perfectly for my use; not large sheet goods but for mainly ripping manageable sized pieces. I don't understand the comment about the rip fence flexing as mine is rock solid. Maybe the fence is defective in the other case. I find the fold-out support very useful although not frequently. The fact that the whole saw folds up easily and can be moved out of the way when not in use (even without folding it up) makes it very versatile in my shop. I only use it in the shop so can't say how it would stand up in actual joist use, but I didn't buy it for that. I know other who have the Bosch saw and swear by it so I know the other brands are also good. For me, after 30+ years of woodworking as a hobby, the Sawstop feature is the main reason I would pick the Sawstop over the others, not because I'm careless (haven't seriously injured myself in the 30 years) but because everyone makes a mistake at one time or another and I don't wish to be injured at that point in time. No argument about any of the other saws. They all have their own users and supporters. For me, the Sawstop is a perfect combination of quality and safety, but that's just me.

@fshanno My intention was always to buy the Sawstop Profesional Cabinet saw, but, after buying an 8" jointer and moving that into my basement shop, I gave up on buying another large 400 lb tool. I purchased the TS55 and MFT3 in an effort to replace my old tablesaw and begin to downsize a little. However, I decided that I still needed a tablesaw but needed to be able to move it out of the way when I am not using it. The Sawstop jobsite saw is just the right combination of of a high quality, safe, movable/foldable tablesaw.  The Bosch or Dewalt saws would probably serve the same purpose minus the safety part (until the new Bosch saw comes out). Since this saw serves all my needs, I wouldn't gain much with the contractor's saw (possibly table size). I just have found it to be a great saw in a small fold-up footprint. It supplements my TS55/MFT3 perfectly for my use.

Dewalt's fence is the best on any portable saw. I am surprised others have not moved to the gear system that guarantees no deflection and always square once setup.

I don't find the same problems with the fence that you do and I came from using a saw where the fence clamped on both the back and front sides. My Sawstop jobsite fence doesn't move when locked in place nor does it flex to the point I can notice any effect. I certainly can flex it if I push horizontally on it with my hand. However, when ripping, I tend to push more downward than against the and merely hold the wood against the fence. Also, most of my sideways force would be exerted in front or possibly when the wood is alongside the blade rather than at the back end. I love the saw, don't have any experience with another jobsite saw, and I have found that the fence has served my needs 100 percent so far. Maybe there is an adjustment on the fence lock that would prevent it from moving once locked. I'd check with Sawstop.

I own a sawstop jss, I real like it. I added the overhead dust collector and the cuts are almost dust free, definitely comparable to my ts75. The heights perfect to use the mft for a out feed. You can run 8" dado stacks no problem. Everything packs up very nice for travel, or storage. I would not hesitate to buy one again.
