Miter Saw recommendations?

My husband would like a miter saw. I am thinking about purchasing him one for Christmas. We live in a 1915 home with crown molding. He is wanting to use it for the remodeling we plan on doing.

Any suggestions on what to look for?

I’ve looked at Consumer Reports but their suggestions are from a few years ago.

Thanks for your help in advance.

What kind of Miter Saw to Buy?

I plan on putting up some crown molding in the future and understand how to do all the cuts using a regular miter saw. I am in the process of looking at saws and wondering if it is beneficial to pay a little extra to get a compound miter saw rather than just a regular miter saw so i have the compound capability if ever needed? Since i wont ever be cutting roof rafters that intersect a hip, are there any DIY projects where I would possibly need a compound miter saw?

Thanks
