   I don't think the accuracy is affected at all.  The slider will give you the ability to cut wider materials, especially large crown flat on the saw.

   I would go with the 10" slider instead of the 12".  The cutting capacity difference of the two is very very small, also the 12" blade will be less accrate than the 10" and replacements are more, weighs more, etc.  Check out the differences.

   I like the bosch, also the makita is tops and have heard good things about the hitachi.

   I have the DeWalt 12" slider,I like to be able to cut 4" table legs.

   I also find I can do the finest of mitres.

   I have the Milwaukee slider and have been extremely happy with it's accuracy.  I do quite a bit of boxmaking, and my joints have been excellent.

   Bought it, because it seemed to be the most solid of all that I looked at; when I bought.

   I have a 10in. Makita slider, I'm happy with it. As stated, the slider allows me to cut much wider boards. It also has a depth stop screw that allows me to cut tenons.

   When I was shopping for a saw about 5 years ago I narrowed it down to the Bosch and the Millwakee slidders. I choose the Milwakee because of its ruggedness of being able to bounce around in the back of a truck and stay accurate for general cutting and to be able to be ajusted for the finer work. The disadvantage is it only tips to one side which can be a hassel for wide crown and speed base copes on the left side It also does not have an a hole button for startup
