We just finished installing a new 12" Delta RAS in the shop today.
It's nice, but I'm not sure that we wouldn't have been better off with
a really high end SCMS, in light of the fact we did very little with
our old RAS other than 90d x-cutting. At $1589, it wasn't cheap
either.
Assuming you had $1600 to toss around, what tool would you get in the
RAS/SCMS arena?

Depends on what you plan to do with it. If all I did was 12 - 14 inch
90 degree crosscuts, I'd probably go with the SCSM and spend the rest on
something else. I use my RAS for enough different applications, I
couldn't substitute an SCSM.

Look at the offerings from Wolfe Machinery for a good used 12" 7790 DeWalt,
a superb saw. http://wolfemachinery.com/
