Have you considered the Einhell ? , German brand, R3500 with the rails.

I have bought Japanese Saws from the store, and found the staff to be both knowledgeable and helpful.

I saw it in store but didn't like it. Rails were also on the short side.

There was a Ryobi plunge which looked a bit better but rail was sliding all over the place.

I've ordered the Metabo KS 55 FS and then got two 1.4 Makita Rails and connectors. Total R4420.

Hope for the best for the Makita rails!

Makita rails are really nice. Metabo saw looks good as well for R2000 + a storage container. Only gonna give it a spin tomorrow but so far I think it was a good buy for the price. Definitely recommend the Makita rails and connectors. Rails grip is excellent and the joint between the two rails lines up nicely. Will report back after I've used it.

Metabo rails are expensive and getting less and their connectors are stupidly priced. R1500

Also super quick delivery from Chavda for the rails. Very impressed. Not sure about returns as it will probably cost.

Saw from Amazon and delivery was super quick.

How is ordering from Chavda? I see some very nice stuff there.
 
Very nice toolbox if you have heavy tools to lug - been there done that and this would have been a gamechanger
