Has anyone tried this saw? I've been leaning towards the legendary
Milwaukee Super Sawzall (11 amp model) but saw this one at Amazon for
$100 ($75 less than the Milwaukee).
I know the DeWalt is not in the same league as the Milwaukee in terms
of power, orbital action (lack of), vibration-control, etc. BUT, what
made this Dewalt intriguing to me is the 4-position blade clamp that
allows you to make true flush cuts (here's a link to a flush-cutting
pic):

Any opinions of/experience with this tool?

This particular model with the 4 position blade mound DOES NOT have a
counter balance. You have to step up to the 309 to get the counter balance
model to reduce vibration. The 304 however is the only one with the 4
position blade clamp.
The True flush cuts appear to be only cutting up to an object. I would
think that to cut flush between a floor and the bottom of a wall that the
blade will still have to be bent some what.
These saws are basically used for demolition. I would prefer the counter
balance over the 4 position blade clamp.
