I like the dewalt saw... Not sure how light it is, but the fence seems
solid and having a great fence is one great feature.

Some thing to consider also and probably in the same price range is the
Festool TS-55 circular saw. Yeah it is a circular saw but I would bet you
could do as much, maybe more with it.

Depends on how many steps ;-)
Hitachi has a 10" contractor's saw for about $300 that has an aluminum
table and includes the stand. It weighs maybe 80 lbs. Not my first
choice for making kitchen cabinets, but works well for general
cutting.
