They are nice saws, I own the predecessor. If the wheels aren't important you can save $65 by going with the 7490X.

I prefer the older style stand for a couple of reasons, one being is that the whole setup takes up a lot less space in my truck. The other is since I'm always ripping long stock by without help I find myself moving from the front to the back of the saw in the middle of a cut and those wheels sticking out there may get in the way.

A nice out feed table isn't always practical for temporary onsite setups.
 
I recently purchased the saw. Only regret is that Dewalt doesn't have a dado throat plate for this saw.

That is odd that the specs say a dado capacity of up to 13/16" yet no plate is available.

Dewalt says the plate (DWE7402DI) should be available sometime this year.

I also read that it was suppose to be available last year too.
