I bought a $99 Ryobi band saw because I didn't think I'd use it as much as my other tools(drill press, table saw) and I regret it. Never gives me a good cut, underpowered, poor quality guides, etc.
I compare it to my Dewalt table saw for instance, which costs much more, but is a joy to use. cj2112 is correct- buy the best quality tool you can afford, and I promise you will never regret it. Better to be overpowered than underpowered
