For liability reasons, you can't sell a line of saws that chop off fingers next to a line that doesn't. You're basically admitting the former is defective.

I'd think the opposite is true - you can't sell a $250 saw that won't cut someone's finger off next to a $200 saw and expect it to sell. No one thinks it'll happen to them... otherwise Saw-stop's own line of saws would dominate the market. Some people will pay the premium, but I'd bet that most will not.
