The Milwaukee 6950 has one of a kind dual worklight that lights up the table on both sides of the cut. Ever had to work into the evening, and the worksite doesn't have adequate lights? It helps a lot to find where you marked your cut. It is bright enough to work in broad daylight, like if you are working under a tree or someplace that is shadowed.

The lights are protected and sunk into the head of the saw so you don't have to worry about breaking them. Light them up by flipping a switch on the handle.

The digital display on the Milwaukee 6950 goes down to 1/10th of a degree for the mitering angle
The adjustment knob is fine enough to rotate the saw without having to tap it.

The laser is nice in that it does not require the blade to be spinning. Nice when you can run the laser, fiddle with the board and don't have to worry about cutting you hand off.
