The Makita connectors consist of two thinner plates on top of each other that expand/offset through the screw action, so there are no screws cutting into the rails.
My experience with the Festool connector is that you have to fiddle with them to get the screws into ’fresh’ places and that they damage the rails after a few times of usage. IMO a typical example of professional blindness of the Festool designers (one has to mind the details!).
(BTW I am \or used to be\ a professional designer and can spot a bad design from miles away.)
