I wavered between a Einhell RT-SM305L Red train-Kapp-miter saw and the Metabo saw.
After I both looked at me in Baumakt, it was clear to me that it should be Metabo.
Although I am only a casual craftsmen, but also because it is worth it in my opinion, spend a little more money. Especially if you have little experience should have been working reliably the device - otherwise the frustration doubled :-)
+ Very good workmanship as rattles nothing, settings are fixed and do not slip (was not so good at the Einhell)
+ More parts made of metal compared to the Einhell - acts robust
+ Laser for positioning the cutting mark
Sawing + train function to broader wood
+ Vacuum cleaner connection fits perfectly with my Kärcher vacuum cleaners, is firmly installed
+ Better blade vs.. For Einhell
A few minuses
- The start of the saw is - as described in other reviews - brachial, a soft start would really enjoyable.
- The LED work lamp is a joke - you need to enable you to work at night in total darkness.
- No work table there - as in the Einhell - however, the frame of the Einhell Saw plastic and looks cheap.
There are still 5 star, since the start-up for me is not so relevant (do not work with it every day), the LED lamp I do not need anyway, and a work table has only times nothing to do with the saw. The product itself has earned 4.5 stars in my view - that are rounded. 5
A little tip for laser:
When I saw this was adjusted, a bit too far left.
One can before unscrewing the plastic cap and adjust the laser with an allen key (there are 2 screws on the right and left of it).
Deviation was corrected in 2 minutes.
All in all a good product.
Have worked a few times so that the sawing result and am very satisfied.
If the saw buy again.

Update October 2013
The saw is still working reliably.
Unfortunately, the laser is not really usable. He disguises himself and unfortunately dirty pretty quickly, so you have free clean the lens again. Too bad. Otherwise, a fine device.
Have 4 cm thick sawn larch planks for a raised bed miter (22.5 °) in the last few days a number that has worked very accurately. Easy to adjust, it pretends nothing.
I'm still very happy with the sawing result!
