when it comes to your tools, buy the best you can afford, the differences may seem minor at first, but you will appreciate those differences when you begin to use it. I would look at a slightly more powerful model and a couple of good quality blades. You want to be able to feed the stock fast enough so ya don't burn it and not have the saw limit your ability to do so. The wider the throat of the saw the better, I have never heard anybody complain about the throat of the saw too deep, but I myself have had problems when the saw was too small to do what i was trying to do.
