I want a saw.

I need a saw for my woodworking hobby. I would like a radial arm saw but after searching far and wide I think I am beginning to conclude that the day of the radial arm is over... There just doesn't seem to be any out there that are affordable and good quality. Omga has a nice one but it does not permit the blade to be in the horizontal position. General has one but it does not do rip cuts. Delta has a 10" model but after a bad grinder experience, I will not buy anything with Shopmaster on the label again. Delta also has a four 12" models which look decent, although I am having absolutely no luck finding any additional information on these. I have emailed Delta twice with no reply, and spoken to a couple clueless sales people at the Ottawa Woodworking Show last weekend. I am also having problems finding someone who is willing to sell me one of these as well at a price that is not triple what our American friends pay for them (which is way over my budget). Looks like I am going to have to get a table saw. That may mean I need a mitre saw as well...
