I too want to welcome you to the forum...and add my four bits worth of advise. Let me just say that you do not need a large table unless you will be doing predominately large projects. Resist the temptation to upgrade just because it would be nice to have a "bigger and better" table saw. After you have used the 500 for a while, you will know whether or not you want to spring for an upgrade. When (if) that time comes, then you will have to decide....upgrade this one or get a second one with a bigger table.
In the meantime, lubricate, clean and align. Then, if you find yourself in the shop without a project, lubricate, clean and align.
