Sounds like the flimsy base is the cause of a lot of the issues. I don't have any of these problems with the heavy cast base on mine.
For what its worth. I had issue with the heavy duty cast base.

I do think a cast base would like a world of difference. Do you have problems with the clamping system moving on miters?
Hasn't been a problem, but a lot of the cuts I made were off of full sticks of 2x4x3/16 so the weight holds it in place pretty well on its own.
