I prefer a non-plunging setup for most track saw cuts. I don't
have a plunger anymore. I use a regular sidewinder in
combination with an EZ-smart track, which is a system
that has a lot of accessories available. While the accessories
are not cheap, they are more economical than the
Festool ones. The other track saw systems don't have
much available in terms of accessories for accurate
repeat cuts.

I bought the Dewalt track saw years ago thinking it was an acceptable saw at an acceptable price for breaking down sheet goods. Let me state that it has far exceeded my expectations at that and a lot of other things as well. Then I started noticing the things that could be done with other brands and their available accessories. Loren has a very good point about looking towards availability in terms of accessories that you might find a need for now or in the future.
