This is one powerful saw!  I've yet to slow it down, yet alone bog it down.  It just eats wood.  That aside, it has some super features.  The tilt handle is great.  It is not hard to adjust, and makes the saw much more pleasant to use.  The sightline is excellent, and the saw tracks well.  I also like the padded forward grip, and being able to see the bevel scale without turning the saw around.  The base is flat and promises to stay that way, and the saw is light weight.  I have had no problems with it whatever.  In fact, I gave my backup yellow saw away - and it was a good saw too.  This Milwaukee saw rocks!  It is professional through and through - definitely five star material.
