Craftsman hybrid saw differences?

Aside from the 3/4 cabinet vs. the full cabinet and the fence that comes with it, is there any real difference between the Craftsman OR35505 and the OR22124 hybrid saws? I have to pull the trigger fast on a great deal on the 35505. Thanks.

There's a huge difference in the fences. The other differences are mainly accessories. The 22124 has a table extension (though prone to warping), and an outfeed table that I found handy. The 22124 also has a crosscut fence on the miter gauge...not sure is the 22114 does. The 22114's aluminum fence does have an indexing device, but the fence is otherwise not in the same league. IIRC, the 22124 has a slighly beefier motor, but the guts are the same. The 22124 comes with a Leitz blade...not sure about the 22114. Both have cabinet mounted trunnions.
If I were in your shoes, I'd lean heavily toward the 22124 if you can swing a deal.
Thanks. This is a used saw, so the 22124 isn't on the table, I just wanted to make sure my impression that the guts were the same was correct.
I don't think the other saw has cabinet mounted trunnions.
All the Orion-made Craftsman saws have cabinet mounted trunnions...the discontinued 22104, 22114, and 22124.
