I got a CT26 from the refurb sale last year. Although I was never blown away by the suction, I figured it was fine. But, I just bought a Mini and it blows my CT26 out of the water. I was doing similar cuts with a TS55R connected to the CT26 and my Mafell KSS300 hooked to the Mini. Even though the KSS isn't an enclosed saw, there was next to no dust. I've got to do some more testing to determine if the problem is the TS or the CT, but I've got to assume it's the CT.
