This Bosch CB 1280 construction blade cuts superior to all the De Walt blades I've used in the past. An excellent value with free shipping and an extra 10% off. The stock blade and the 80 tooth would float over the hard grain where the Bosch cuts clean. My De Walt saw would bog with De Walt blades even when new, The CB1280 cuts fast and clean with no burning.
Kind of chintsy cardboard packaging it come in, though. Bought mine from Amazon for $40 when the Irwin blade I had originally bought from Amazon arrived quite warped and I sent it back. The Bosch is a good blade, flat, thin kerf, clean cuts, American made. Even the Irwin came in a plastic sleeze pack that facilitates safe storage. Not as pretty as some of the more expensive blades, but I don't see how they would do a better job and justify their additional cost.
