parallel guide set - replace the table saw?

lets say you are making a face frame and need to rip lots of boards at 2 1/2".  Do you use the table saw and get the job done in a 1/2 hour or do you make do with the parallel guides and the narrow stock adapter and get the job done in 3 or 4 hours ?

I also thought I could get rid of my table saw after 2+ years of not turning it on. My last project still would not be finished (ok, thats an exaggeration)  if I only used the parallel guides.  Yes the guides will do the job, but "maybe" not as accurately as the table saw and certainly not as fast.

Now, I am thinking sell the Unisaw and buy that small SawStop Jobsite, that will do the narrow stock easily.
