It looks like you have a well equipped wood shop. :-)
I do like the radial arm saw. It takes up more space than a chop saw, but it also does a lot more. You can't rip with any chop saw that I've ever seen.

The best part is that this saw came for free from a friend. The table was all worn out and the motor was locked up.
There was a safety recall on the saw which was still active, so I got a new table and guards from that.
The motor was clogged with sawdust. It started right up when I cleaned it out.
I think of the radial arm saw as intermediate utility compared to a chop saw and a table saw. It does a lot of the same work, including running a dado set, but it is fussy to set up and struggles with big plywood panels.
