Very nice upgrade indeed.https://betterleytools.com/products/alumifence-for-sawstop.html
I ordered it because I was having trouble getting the fence aligned and realized that my factory sawstop fence was swelling in places causing bind at the blade which was burning my maple.
I tried the woodpeckers replacement fence and it was straight but I couldn't use the Table Saw jigs I built over the years with it and one of their "capstone features" was the ability to use the jessem guides. However, I found that I would have to take them off for any small cuts as they protrude past the fence.
I found some folks on this site mentioning Betterley's stuff as good quality and I found the website and realized they sold this fence so I ordered both sides of the fence and the "subfence" for thin rips and put my jessem rig back on the center of the fence where it was before.
Now I'm very happy. I have a ultra flat fence, can use my old jigs and still be able to use the jessem guides. All in all this wasn't a cheap upgrade but VERY good one indeed.
Cheers
