In the current Oct/November 2006 FINE HOMEBUILDING Magazine,
"Can a Circular-Saw Edge Guide Replace Your Tablesaw? Best Value goes to the Red-Line Cutting Guide (Hartville Tool); Best Overall goes to Festool, with EZ Smart a close runner-up. Festool is a man set out to play among the boys; too bad it's priced accordingly. Ez Smart is well-conceived; as with the Festool, someone set down all the questions and tried (quite successfully) to answer them." page 96.
"Choosing between Festool and EZ Smart is like choosing between Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid..." "I think EZ Smart's antisplinting provision is the best of the lot." page 94.
I am not trying to start any battles, I just thought it was nice that they liked both.
