if you are not planning to use the table saw for making and selling === as a hobbyist you do not need to spend 2K or 3K thousand dollars for a good table saw === you can buy a good table saw and inset it to a plywood extension table and actually have more flat surface than the high dollar saws that you have mentioned in your question ...... getting the right cut and a precise cut on most any table saw is the practice of measuring from rip-fence to blade cutting at the blade ---- measure the table grooves -- the blade cut to the rip fence -- several times == that is all the same stuff that you will have to do even with a $3,000.00 cabinet making table saw ..... It is not what you asked but it is a place to start shopping -- SEARS has a good selection of table saws and varied brands -- if this is your 1st table saw it is better to buy the two or three hundred model and learn what you want before the 2/3 K expense. Go to Sears and shop == remember the wood pusher stick to save fingers == and see what is available ...

which one is best depends on your needs based on what you build, which it sounds like they are both more than you need I worked for ten years at a kitchen and bath place that made cabinets and counter tops and all they had was an old belt drive craftsman contractors table saw you could probably get a decent used saw through craigslist or OKorder for a lot less money but if money is no object I personally like the powermatic and I always recommend the left tilt models, the right tilts don't have the same capacity for bevel cuts since the fence needs to be on the left side of the blade to avoid kickback
