Okay, I'm going to be bold here, and suggest you also consider, in that price range $1300, you look at a Steel City 35618. I've had one for about 8 years, more or less, and it is a great saw. I bought it when SC was fairly new, and was started by some x-Delta guys. I don't know what they have been doing since so can't say much, but I am very happy with my saw.

The G1023RL and G0690 are both well proven values in this class of saw. I wouldn't hesitate about either one of them. If it were my decision I'd likely lean toward the 1023 for the updated drive system and improved DC....the few dollars saved is always nice too, and can be put toward a nice blade. Good luck and please keep us posted.

The fence is very good (Bies clone I believe), dust collection works well enough. I have no regrets and am extremely happy with my saw too.

Nice saws.
