Never used a makita, but I'm sure it would do the job.

If I were buying a new mitre today, I'd check out the Milwakee.

Re: Miter Saws

Owned the model before this and loved it. I do tons of AZEK trim work, lots of crown. This saw cut smooth straight and square. weight is comparable to other 10" saws. It looks like the same saw with a few added upgrades, I am also buying this saw (mine was stolen) this week.
