Most people I talk with feel more comfortable with a table saw than a RAS, which is perfectly fine. They are both excellent tools when used properly and both have their pros and cons. Having spent so many years working with my father using his RAS I gravitate to it for pretty much all cross cutting while using a table saw almost exclusively for ripping. It will be interesting to see if I am able to adapt my habits and make proper use of the sliding table on my new saw.
The first thing that I will have to figure out is the blade for the table saw. I have always used high tooth count Freud Ultimate cross cut blades on the RAS and my table saw always has a Freud hair line rip blade. I don't think I will be happy compromising on a combination blade.
