If you are in sticker shock at $469xx keep an eye on Craigslist.. I did and got one for $200.00 still in the box.  No stand or light.

Been doin' that very thing...only good saw so far is an Excalibur that the guy wants too much for.

Still looking but getting very antsy. $500 delivered with stand and light is not really a bad deal.

ive got a single speed hegner sitting in the corner of my garage.  i bought a DEWALT 788 and i like it better.  i guess ill have to part with the hegner.
it is a good saw but blade changes are kind of a pain and it is not as easy to tension but it cuts great.
