Been waiting for a deal on a good miter saw to replace a $199 Mastercraft that I've nicknamed "The Approximator".
The DWS779 and DWS780 (same saw plus a bright LED that casts the blade's shadow onto the wood) are both discounted, moreso the DWS780 which is usually hundreds of dollars more than the DWS779. Lowe's has both saws for the same price as Amazon.
DWS779 @ $399:

DWS780 @ $479.20:

Both saws have lots of great reviews, here's one based on actual usage and with minimal BS:
If, like me, you aren't sure that a bright LED is worth 80 dollars, here's a guy who homebrewed the same system for cheap:
EDIT: thanks to a tip from @barks1andrew I was able to get the free stand with a DWS780 at Home Depot, plus a 10% price beat, $487.13 out the door! The text of HD's offer says "not valid with other offers" but doesn't say "at regular price." Both the associate and the cashier mentioned that Lowe's doesn't include a stand; I said to them "your offer doesn't say it's limited to regular price" and they agreed!
