I'll agree that a cabinet saw is not needed tor turning purposes, but if you do make other things, then a good table saw is a requirement, (or more expensive sliders) and since a cabinet saw and contractor saw take up the same physical floor space, the dust collection afforded by the cabinet saw is a plus. I do own a 52" 5 horse Sawstop. Awesome saw, if you're thinking of going that way. It really does double as a table, since I am space limited. I put a plywood top on it and bingo! A workbench.
