DeWalt vs Skil Table Saw + Miter Saw Combo

I am looking at table saws and miter saws for general homeowner use (repairs, and some relatively simple builds)

I live near a Lowes so I was deciding between DeWalts 10in Table Saw (DWE7491RS) + 12in Miter Saw (DWS779) which totals to about $1100 right now, and Skil's 10in Table Saw and 10in Miter Saw which is about $610.

I realize I can also get cheaper DeWalt saws but I like the 10in blade capability on the table saw and the dual bevel sliding capabilities on the miter saw.

Price isn't a huge concern, but if I were to get the Skil saws I'd have a little more money to invest in a bike which would be nice but not necessary right now.

Is the longevity comparable between these tools? Will I eventually regret getting the cheaper Skil saws?

Thank you in advance for your input! :)
