Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the responses.
I went into KMS today hoping to take advantage of their trade in program towards the Milwaukee FUEL M18 2pc combo kit.

Unfortunately the Ryobi tools I wanted to trade didn't qualify as professional grade or whatever. I wasn't really surprised but my buddy wasn't too happy about it and argued for a bit. It was funny.
I ended up getting some other Milwaukee tools at home depot but I need to do a bit more research on them before I keep them. I think this is the kit I paid $299 for.

I also got this saw for free.

My buddy was trying to sell me on the Rigid stuff at Home Depot. He's pretty handy and has done lots of home renovations etc. and seems to think it's pretty good stuff. It's been his Dewalt stuff that's made me realize the difference good quality tools make. Fortunately it's all still is in my garage so I have a bit more time before I have to make a final decision.
