That is very similar to some observations that I have made with my miter saw, and it made me consider the usefulness of this tool.
If I am going to keep a miter saw in the shop, I may have to look at a different blade or at a different saw with a 10" blade.

I have a Freud finish blade on my 12" and there is indeed deviation from the top to the bottom, no matter how much time I spend trueing the blade.
Cross cuts on small stock (e.g. 1") are fine, but when cutting 2x4, there is a noticeable angle on the cut.
