I too am a big fan of Freud blades. I have the same "80 tooth, ultimate cut-off" on my miter saw and although it makes for incredibly smooth cuts, I don't really like it. The previous Freud 60 tooth blade I had also made very clean cuts, but with the lower number of teeth (and the resulting larger capacity for sawdust between the teeth, they cut faster.
Good luck!
I was wondering about Freud's suggestion of the 80T, myself. I'm not needing a superfine finish on the edge of the crosscut in this case as any flooring that gets cut will have it's cut-edge hidden under baseboard trim or a transition strip of somekind. I'm wondering if a 24T(10") will be better than the 30T(10") they recommended for ripping this flooring, too.
