I have done a fair amount of finish work with it and I figure it paid for itself in short order.

This is why I asked what you wanted it for. If you are doing finihs work you absolutely shoudl get something like Lebowski is suggesting, along with a finish blade. Circular saws don't do finish work very easily and unless you are good with it not well at all.
