I've got a large circ saw/plunge saw (no rail) that's good for large pieces. Also got an Evolution sliding chop saw, like a plunge with a base. The circ has to be over a free edge to allow for the blade but the chop base takes care of that.
I got the Evo mainly for metal but the blade is multi-purpose and eats wood very easily & neatly.
Dunno if that helps any. They both do a job, for slicing large sheets the circ saw is the thing, for guitar-sized things the chop saw is mostly better. Much more control and a finer cut, light & movable too.
Wouldn't necessarily recommend the Evo, the blades are pricey, a dedicated wood one should be cheaper on that front. I'd go sliding not fixed, whichever way.

@equalsql what sort of jobs have you got in mind?
Circ saw for ripping sheet, worktop etc, mine was only £30ish at the time so not pricey but no good for guitars.
Bandsaw for getting close to a guitar outline.
Done loads with the chopsaw, car rebuilds, workbenches, fences, firewood etc.
Horses for courses. I wouldn't be without any of them, luckily the bandsaw was a broken freebie, but each has paid it's keep many times over.
I know that they are more of a one-trick pony, but obviously take up a lot less space, hence my query on here for anyone who actually uses one

Handy things for sawing and routing, though you do need to make sure you keep it up to the fence and dont let is drift. I use one on my router table as a mount for these when making beading and such.
