Which is better for cutting plywood and sheet goods?

The DeWalt. Its 32-1/2 in rip capacity cuts wider stock than the SawStop's 25-1/2 in. The SawStop needs a track saw or circular saw for full sheets.

Is the SawStop worth the extra money?

If you value the brake that stops the blade on skin contact, yes. That is the main thing the extra money buys. The DeWalt gives you more rip capacity for less.

Which is easier to move around?

The DeWalt at 58 lbs is lighter to lift. The SawStop weighs 113 lbs with its cart, but the cart folds by pedal and rolls like a dolly, so it moves well on flat ground and stairs.

Do both cut 3-1/8 in deep at 90 degrees?

Yes. Both list 3-1/8 in depth of cut at 90 degrees, so thickness capacity is the same.

Which has better dust collection?

The SawStop. It has dual ports, one in the blade guard and one below the blade. The DeWalt has a single 2-1/2 in port for a vacuum.

Can the SawStop cut metal or other conductive material?

Yes, but only by bypassing the safety system. With the brake active, conductive material can trigger it.
