Don't completely over-look Sears. The Craftsman 10" saws are fairly good as well. And in the $500 - $600 range, you will get the second down from their top model, and one that I consider their best. The top of thier line had an added router table set up on the right side table extension I believe.
They are made by one of the top companies ( sears doesn't build them, just puts their name on them ). Some of their stuff looks a lot like Delta.
