Got a new miter saw stand and it saved me 45 minutes on one job

I was using sawhorses for like three years to cut trim and crown molding. Finally broke down and bought a Ridgid folding stand with rollers last week. First job with it was baseboards in a 12x15 bedroom and I was done cutting in 20 minutes instead of over an hour. The time I wasted hunting for dropped pieces and repositioning my saw was crazy. Has anyone else put off getting a stand and regretted all the extra effort?

Three years on sawhorses here too. I was one of those guys who thought a stand was just a fancy extra, but my buddy let me borrow his Dewalt one for a weekend and I couldn't give it back for two months. The roller arms alone cut my scrap hunting down to almost nothing, plus not having to bend down to grab pieces off the floor saved my back. I ended up buying my own the next week and it was honestly one of those things where I wish I'd done it sooner.

That back saving part really got me too @grantmartinez, three years of bending over sawhorses I'll never get back.
