I LOVE my sawstop. It contains the best instructions for saw assembly (I was told by a woodcraft store owner who had assembled many saws of many brands over the years).
I would also look at sliders to see if their space and cost worked for you. Some of them (I understand) can be purchased with some nice extras. I am not fully aware of what types of cuts can be done on one and not the other, so, evaluate the cut types to be sure that you can do what you want. For example, I understand that some European saws cannot use a Dado blade. And I have not heard good things about the SawStop Sliding table saw attachment, but, I am not really informed about this.
A friend came over and he wanted an angle cut on a small piece of wood (say 7"x1.5"x1.5"). It took me a while to figure out how to cut it safely. I don't care if it is a sawstop, I was still not going to purposely put my fingers that close to the blade. I ended up attaching it to a much larger board to make the cut (double sided sticky tape).
The SawStop is a nice saw, no question about it. They have great customer service, and, you can get parts if needed.
