Table saw sears vs ryobi?

I found a sears table saw on craigslist and for 15 more someone else is selling a ryobi. Which one should I go for?

Update:

The sears looks maybe 2-3 years old...from the picture it looks like all the parts are there. The fence and the angle slider and comes with extra blades. The ryobi the guy didn't give a picture on his just the picture of the model BTS15. My friend also says to go with the Sears.

    You have to look at what you are going to do with the saw and weigh that against what each one offers. They are both good saws. You need to consider what dado's the saws will take and the size of the motor. Most come with the fence and miter gages but extras are a plus if offered. You will be able to buy parts for both saws. Ryobi is made in the USA and the Sears is made by ???.

    Get the sears depending on age and condition. Ryobi is a cheaper brand

    Ryobi is junk. buy the sears. better yet would be to find a DeWalt or Ridged.

    I would prefer the Sears as i have one and it works well.Ryobi is a off brand and you would not be able to get parts for it if necessary.
