For perspective, I've have a 20" Dahl for a couple of years. The cuts are straight and it works very well. The only thing that annoys me is that the plastic guide for lining up the cut is not straight so you have to compensate (easy to get used to). Perhaps the larger Dahl's are problematic. The Rotatrim was out of my price range at the time. The new single rail Rototrim looks interesting.
