If you're a weekend warrior it's highly unlikely you'll be upset about not having the slide more than a few times.  Flip your workpiece or use a circular saw with straight edge...

Also consider if you're using it job site style and throwing it on a mitre stand (stack of 2x4s...) Or if you've got a mitre saw station that it'll live in.  Sliding one will require much more depth in a mitre station so might mess with your setup if space is limited.

I have a 12" now but honestly the 10" was fine for 95% of the things I was working on and easier to sling around the job site (and I built my deck with the 10").  Obviously everyone's situation and use is different but I've learned that it's not worth it to buy the upgraded/bigger version of tools for the 1 time you're going to need it...just becomes a hassle the rest of the time (then again I still buy tons of tools just to have them...so maybe I'm helpful or maybe I'm a hypocrite...)
