Hello,
One suggestion instead of the Mafell saw would be to try and find a 13" makita. Makita of US does not make the tool anymore but Makita of Japan does. It takes a little while to get it but I find it to be a well balanced tool. It certainly is much light in weight than the mafell 13" or the makita 16"...it does only cut 5 inches. I have that saw and a bigfoot and I love them both. Makita 13" is good for drop cuts b/c of its weight. It you wnat help finding a makita 13 drop me a line.
