if that's the saw I'm thinking of, it neatly divides the line between
a portable and a stationary tool. seems well built, as is expected
from hitachi.

Depends on what you call portable, I guess. At 265 pounds, I'm not planing
on carrying it around much. This is the one.

The only Hitachi tool I have ever been disappointed in is a horizontal
machining center. We've had one for about six years and it has had more
service calls in that time than our 20 year old Matsuura. Think we got a
lemon. Has to happen.
