Flip stop (T-slot track) for crosscut sled or drill press fence to recommend?

Chuck - Lee Valley has a really rigid Flip Stops in "normal;" and "Industrial Strength", larger versions with compatible extrusion.

Does anyone have a robust -- zero deflection -- fence flip stop ( 3" to 4" reach, running on a T-slot track) that they can recommend?

This one seems robust, but does not flip:https://www.katzmoseswoodworking.com/new-products/presale-the-katz-moses-universal-stop-block

I've tried a few flip stops ($30 to $50 Cdn) but they all had a bit of play/deflection.

I know you need a flip up stop, but thought I'd show the Katz Moses stop (since you mentioned it) I just purchased a couple weeks ago.  I needed a stop for my TrackTubes and due to the adjustment height of the Katz Moses stop, it fit perfect.  I recommend it for those who don't need a flip up stop and use a 1/4" t-track. Good luck with your search.

I use Kreg flip stops, they are a perfect fit for 8020 1030 extrusions that I use on my chopsaw and also my drill press'
 
I’d like to try them but don’t think they’ll fit the incurs miter gauges.

Why are you not using Incra's stops?  I have one on my Incra miter gage.
 
I am using it but like the idea how there’s no play in this one.

Thanks.

Zero play or deflection?

I have had no luck with any flip stops (some reputable ones) I tried. My local vendor used to carry the Kreg stop but its website no longer lists it. I'll see if other local vendors have it; I'd like to check it out in person first to avoid the return hassle.
 
I finally came across at a garage sale a sturdy flip stop that won't flex in normal use or with finger pressure. There's no deflection when butting a stock against the stop unless I'm trying to force it hard. It needed some modification to suit my crosscut sled's tall fence.

Old thread, but it might help someone. I have had the Kreg flip stop for many years in a commercial cabinet shop. It gets lots of use and works very well for me. It is adjustable as far as the tension that allows it to swing. Even at the point where it moves so freely that you can slide a board under it, so you don't actually have to flip it by hand, there is very little deflection. (
