Neal..
I know exactly what you mean about the metal cutting saw you own, I have one too and the chips are slither's and very annoying especially if you get them in your skin or eye, very dangerous, they are not worth the effort.
I take it you welded your frame by the looks of it which means your in the FAB business, a nice plasma cutter would complement your tooling inventory in the FAB shop, not much room needed, not much mess, cuts steel straight and square, certainly more versatile than any saw, you also will need a decent air compressor to keep up with it but you then will have shop air for tooling. well within the budget you reported...
