If you havent bought the saw yet and plan on cutting long boards I suggest getting the version with bigger teeth, meaing a lower tpi.
I got the 10 tpi converted to rip but it doesnt cut as fast as I would like to. On the other hand the 10 tpi in rip still cuts crosscuts easily.
Also if you dont have a rasp and a file yet get them aswell cause you want to modify the handle. Its really uncomfortable but a hour or two with the rasp, file and sandpaper really makes a huge difference.
