I dont have a miter station due to also being in a single car garage space. when I did, I was only using it for rough breakdown of lumber. In order to replace that capability i have the makita *cordless* tracksaw, empahasis on the cordless. its amazing. and then i got a cordless jig saw. its not as fast in 8/4 material but i use that for breaking down material. i take the saw to the material instead of the reverse.
cross cutting heavy or super long things is always a bit of a challenge in a small shop (car gets in the way, etc.). that would be the big advantage of a miter saw. wide crosscuts....i'm going to the tracksaw.
maybe downgrade to a small but reliable mitersaw that can be stowed away. then when you have a project using something super long, you break it out for that.
