Buying one of these that is:

After 5 years of use I have finally decided to replace my $150 Aldi tablesaw (best $150 I have ever spent) with something a bit better.
Initially I decided to splurge out on a cabinet saw from Carbatec or Hafco, I then ran into the following problems:
I don't have a 15 amp circuit (very expensive to add one)
I don't have a vehicle capable of transporting the size of table saw I was looking at nor the means of loading and unloading the weight (>50 kgs) if I did (and delivery charge quoted was ~$400)
My solution is to buy a contractors saw as I have an existing shop-built table saw workstation with a DIY biesemeyer style fence.
Ideally I only really need to buy the main body of a table saw but I don't know of anyone who sells just that.
The DeWalt DW745 seems to get a lot of good reviews, this is a DW745-XE but it seems to be the same as the DW745 with the obvious modifications for Oz.
As this is available from Bunnings I have at least solved the delivery problem.
The price is the usual over the top markup we are all used in in Australia but it seems competitive to other suppliers where there would be delivery charges or delivery problems.
I could go the next size up (DWE7491-XE) but Bunnings don't seem to sell those.
If anyone can see a flaw in my logic I would greatly appreciate being put right.
Cheers.
