I have the 10" sliding compound saw from HF.  It's perfectly ok and 
reasonably accurate.  No more flex in the rails than the others, and no more 
slop than them either.  Bearings benefit from some lubrication.

Not suited for precise cabinetry work, but I don't think I've ever met a cut 
saw that was.  Perfectly fine for construction and home improvements and 
such.
