I would put off buying the CMS, you can use your table saw for any cut you can make on a CMS. Hell I even did the crown moulding in my house on my table saw. I have a CMS but I ony use it for construction projects or rough cuts.
I would put off the track saw as well. I have a $75 Hitachi still saw, a 4 foot straight edge, two clamps and a square that I use for cutting sheet goods. It works fine. Thickness plainers are nice, I use mine from time to time. What I use 90% of the time is my table saw with varous jigs for cross cutting, jointing or 45 cuts and my drum sander.
