I purchased a Skil Circular Saw 7.25", 2.4 HP, 13 amp AccuSight as a gift for a relative. I now see that the same store has a sale on a virtually similar Skil Circular Saw, but with Laser Guide, for $100 ($20 more than what I paid for the first saw at $80 Can.) My questions are: is the laser guide saw better value for money, and how much better (or worse) is the laser guide than a regular saw with a plastic and metal guide line? I believe both these saws are made in the US, though definitely the one I bought is, if that makes any difference.
