I uses the Dremel saw that came in my Dremel 4000 kit, once or twice, but it's not high on my list of the most useful accessories. The Dremel accessories I find useful are the 90 degree attachment and the flexible wand. I have also used the planer attachment a number of times, it's perfect for shaving doors when the builder is sloppy and they stick. 
If I were doing a lot of carpentry, the oscillating tool would be useful, but I don't really need one. However, I doubt one attached to a Dremel would be all that useful, the oscillating tool needs significant power.

The Dremel 4000 has speed control build in, I find that useful when I have some really heavy duty grinding or shaping to do. It's speed control is really speed control, when you increase the load on the tool, it pours on the juice to keep it running at a constant speed, very nice feature. I believe the #219 is not not a constant speed controller, just a variable voltage controller.
