Ray, I have had the P-20 for 3 years and wouldn't trade it for any other brand. I looked long and hard at the Dewalt 788 and the P-20. The P-20 is a heavier, industrial type saw. The older 788's were good saws but from what I get from reading 5 different scrollsaw forums the newer 788's have a lot of problems. Some do not like the idea of having to change the belt to change the speed on the P-20. I have changed the speed of mine very few times in 3 years and it takes just a matter of seconds. Like owning a Ford or a Chevy, which ever one you have is the best. I would try both saws if you can and then make the decision. They are both about the same price. Good luck with whichever saw you choose. Let us know which one and why you chose it.   Mick.
