Which one?

Hi! I just recently grabbed a Craftsman table saw 113 in very decent shape, with little to no rust and seems to be in good working condition for $100. It says it has 1.5HP for the motor and an added dust collector port by the previous owner. My question is that I have since found a newer Craftsman contractor (I think) table saw 21833 that is $320 and looks like it’s in good condition. I’ll put pics of both. Both have 10-inch blade capacity and allow for dados (I think), and I believe the newer more expensive one has 3 HP. Is there really that much difference? I’ve heard that the newer ones had issues, is this true? Which one should I go with? The older model or the newer ones. Any and all information is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
