I'm familiar with the difference between worm-drive and sidewider circular saws. The worm-drive appeals to the engineer in me, but the reality is that the extra power would be wasted for the light duty work I do (much like your friend) and the extra weight and bulk would be potentially problematic. If I were framing a house or something, there would be no question about it, I'd go with a worm drive saw.
