Repeatable cuts on a table saw are irreplaceable

Just my two cents, what do you think?
Pretty nice Miter, now if only it was a true 45*. I know these tools are marketed as precision tools, but the truth of the matter is that nothing will beat the reliability of a good table saw. I had the TS55 before the Makita, and it was just as finicky to get a perfect cut. The track tipping, the saw tipping, the piece underneath moving...the variables for mistakes are too many to be reliable.
If you are under the impression that a track saw will be a table saw replacement, I want to let you know it isn’t. It is great on site and for quickly breaking down sheet goods, but the repeatable cuts on a table saw are irreplaceable in my opinion.
Now accuracy does rely on a good saw, a job site table saw may not fit the bill. But a good cabinet saw is a great place to start.
