I use a Delta 8-1/4" sidekick saw in my shop. A couple of things that I think made the saw perform better were: adding a decent combination blade( I like the 40 tooth Dimer blade from Lee Valley) as well as building my own custom fitted zero clearance inserts. I also added a couple of extension wings for larger material.

I use a sacrificial table and portable circular saw for breaking down sheet goods before I go the delta and while I'd love to purchase a good 10" cabinet saw someday, the delta services me pretty well for the projects I'm building for now.
