Yup. I tried to focus on the things I didn't like about the G0623X (per OP's request), but it's difficult not to get all misty-eyed and giddy. Handling wide pieces is sooo much easier compared to my old saw. Need to cut a large table top to size? Set the stop, plop the top and....cut (I know it doesn't rhyme, but it's still poetry!)

OK, just so we're clear: The G0623X has a crosscut fence you can set from 90 to 45 degrees.

It also has a separate miter gauge that mounts to the sliding table:

The crosscut fence is great for longer items like picture frames, the miter gauge is better for short pieces (especially because of the built-in hold down clamp).
The G0623X takes a standard 8" dado stack, which is nice. Note that with a 3/4" wide stack, the right side of the ZCI is almost completely eaten up. There is maybe 3/16" left.
