Sliding Compound

what is the best 12-in sliding compound miter saw?
Im in the market and my biggest concern is fit and finish .
I do custom trim, cabinets, doors, exc.. my old dewalt is on its way out and I dont like the new dewalts that I have seen and tried. Im thinking, makita, ridgid, or maybe bosch. I need something that can cut consistent accurate miters. any suggestions from experience would be great.
thanks for your time.
Most saws with reputable names will work if you maintain the accuracy. My preference is DeWalt only because there is a DeWalt store nearby (and I don’t have to deal with Home Despot for things like crown stops, etc.
In my opinion, all saws are good, laser or not, but consider moreover the blade you purchase. Especially in fine carpentry, melamine, trim, etc. A $ 25 cross cut blade on a $ 800 saw does worse than a $100 blade on a BD 10″ saw. Again, only if it is accurately aligned.
