Tried a track saw for 6 months, the miter station still wins for me

I got a decent track saw back in March after everyone online swore it would replace my miter saw for sheet goods. Used it on three kitchens in Portland and yeah, the cuts are clean and square, no question. But setting up the track on every single panel adds maybe 15 minutes per job, and when I'm doing 40 cabinet boxes that time adds up fast. My miter saw with a good blade and a stop block still gets me repeatable parts faster, and I don't need a clear floor to lay down panels. Anyone else switch to a track saw full time and actually stick with it, or did you end up going back to the old setup too?

Wait, do you actually have a clean floor somewhere in Portland to lay panels down, or is that just a myth I heard about? lol. I tried the whole track saw thing and my miter saw is still my ride or die, mostly because I trip over my own tape measure enough without adding a four foot track to the mix.
