You get so much more power and flexibility with the bigger saws; it beats out the convenience of cordlessness. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in a 5-1/2inch saw with a 12v battery to cut anything thicker than plywood cleanly and consistently. Every such tool I've had the opportunity to use would frequently bind or bog down when cross cutting 2-by boards (and forget about knots or beveled cuts). I'm convinced they're designed to be nothing more than fodder for cordless tool bundles.
