Can you recommend a good wet saw that has a good re-sale value?

I have to tile several bathrooms and have been investigating different wet saws. I think I'd like to get good hp and it should handle 12" tiles and do diagonal cuts. I could get a $300 Craftsman or an $1100 DeWalt. I'd like a good, sturdy unit to handle the work without the problems I read about in the cheaper models. I think I can garage sale the saw afterwardas there is always the same "tool guy" that shows up at them. Maybe I could make most? half? some? of the money back. It's hard enough talking my husband into spending the money for the remodel. He won't go for a good tool if I can't promise what we could expect to resell it for. I don't even think a "tool guy" would be interested in cheap tools. Buy the $300 one, put up with any problems, then throw it away, get nothing back - or spend $1100 dollars, do the jobs well, get back maybe $700, and ultimately spend $400? Which plan sounds better to you?
