That's sad news on your side and mine too that the saw of my dreams no longer exists. Man I want that saw in the worst way!!! Welcome friend, Any saw will do any job but some saws are creature comfort loaded.DW788 is the lowest price one with lots of goodies,tilt table,blower,light ,stand,0" throat so a20" x 40" project is very possible,I've done 2 of them. I would be very sad without a scroll saw especially the ex-30".God is good,I've 12 -dw788's for back up.I do not like down time.Hope your a regular here !!!! Welcome again!!!
