Personally I find lasers wildly inaccurate. Which is why they are often found on the lowest end machines and omitted from the better ones (like this Dewalt). The exception being the festool kapex, but that's no ordinary laser.
This works great though. Probably the best system for lining up cuts.
One surprise I had with the newer non-sliding dewalts is that they won't take the LED light attachment that makes the shadow right on the cut line.

Ordered it on amazon and then had to return it and get the Irwin laser guide, which so far has been fine, but you have to start the saw to see it and know that it's just to the left.

Another kicker is how often I've seen these pop up on Craigslist lately at pretty solid prices. If you have a few weeks to stalk craigslist you might do better, if you don't mind the hassle and you know what you're looking at.
Those miter saws are gorgeous. I'm "storing" a 12" dewalt miter saw for a friend, but if I weren't I would probably get that bosh.
Do you have any lasers or guides for it? I'm using a http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWS7085-Miter-Saw-Light-System/dp/B000X9EDD8 on the dewalt and really like it, but it is dewalt specific.
