Ivor,
Go with your heart. Buy the one you want or don’t buy it at all.
Don’t go buying a cheap one now and hoping to upgrade it later. It is waste of time and money, seriously.
Good luckVisit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

Remember, a tablesaw is a long term investment, some people say the heart of the workshop.
Buy the best you can (I'd personally wait until I have the $$$ for a good un) You will most probably be using it for years to come (be it with pleasure or a PITA)
I have a Delta Hybrid. I now wish I had have saved just for another month or so, and got a Unisaw. More power, better trunnions etc...

I'm hanging out for the JET supersaw - closed base version. Second choice woudld be the TSCH10B, esp. at a bit over $1200.
I like the idea of the Festool plunge jobs, but I think that a bloody great tablesaw in the shop kind of sets the scene, looks purposeful? I often note while using my OK-but-frustrating 8" tilt table/4"buzzer combo how much it limits me (even though Mr Maloof started on one of these). I would be very wary now of a powerful saw, but the troika of TS/BS/Jointer, + thicknesser gives a really solid core to the shop. IMHO.The only way to get rid of a [Domino] temptation is to yield to it. Oscar Wilde

Wongo,
as someone who has variously winched, dug, dragged with other vehicles, tractors and dozers, jacked, chopped trees to fill holes or lever axles, used branches, planks and chains for traction and generally struggled to get heavilly loaded vehicles from a to x ( where a is on the bitumen in civilization and "x" is a chicken scratch on someone's mud map because there aren't any maps that actually show the goat track that passes as the gazetted road that goes to "x") I disagree. There's been many times that I've needed a 4wd and thankfully most times I've had one (though there's been a few long walks when I haven't )
