I have had both for a bout a year and a half and thought it was time to comment on them.
My initial reaction on the saw was wow. I was amazed at how accurate and safe it was cutting sheet goods virtually dust free with the Midi vac I also purchased with it. For a good year I really didn't do much with the table except use the saw until I needed to do some routing on a chair I was building. I looked over at the MFT and thought that was a pretty expensive table just to use with a track saw. I went out and purchased some clamps and have not looked back. Paul Marcel's video was a big help. I purchased an additional fence clamp and removed the protractor head. Got another few inches of crosscutting ability. If you have seen Paul's video you know a spacer is required as he is using a 1080 table. On the Mft/3 it's not.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase. One constructive concern I have is raising and lowering the guiderail. For some reason it seems to go out of square when I do that ( I should add "barely"). No big deal takes seconds to square back up but the pivot track the guide sits in seems a little cheap and I occasionally have to jiggle it to get it to clamp correctly. Have tried loosening and tightening the Allen screws but neither seems to help. Just a small point in or otherwise perfect product. I have since purchased a fest tool sander and will hopefully be buying the domino shortly. The FOG has been a great source of information.
