I have a Grizzly that I bought 15 or 18 years ago and it has been an absolute pleasure to own and use. There are several fence manufactures out there like Shop Fox that will add accuracy to your saw.
If you are not going to do a lot of woodworking I would stick with ( can't believe I am saying this ) your Craftsman ( boy that hurt ) up grade your fence, then put your money into a quality router table and router for doing the acrylic.
I have a pretty well stocked shop, with all of the major tool companies represented Delta, Jet, Dewalt, Grizzly, Hitachi, Porter Cable, etc. etc. and the tool I use the most is my router table and router.
Look into Rockler, it's a wood working company. We have a Rockler store here in Cleveland they are very well stocked with most of the tools. They have a pretty decent in house line of router tables and accessories, plus name brands. They have a decent website and catalogue to read through and drool over.
With the router table, the right bits and router, you can do almost anything other than ripping and cross cuts. IMHO
