In the pictures that flash bt on the page, the Kapex is shown with a extended rail system. I guess these are not out yet, but does anyone here have one? I ordered the Saw helper yesterday, thanks to Brice B. for turning me onto that in your review. Although the Saw helper looks to be a well thought out accessory, I wonder if I should hold out for the one in the picture. Too bad I just seen it today. Yea I know, return shipping will be whopper.   
 
I've not used or even seen the Festool extensions wings so I can't comment on how well they work. My opinion is continuous extention wings like the Sawhelper are the only way to go for professional use (and nonprofessional use too  ;) ).
 
Funny thing, I just went to the basement to look for the small allen for the fence stop, looked at the box, and there were pics of those extensions. 
 
I had the opportunity to use that set up on

John Lucas's Kapex.  www.woodshopdemos.com .

Only for a afternoon, so I can't offer a real life opinion.

In theory its a unique set up, it is designed around the saw and works well.

I see it as ideal for a small home shop application.

As for withstanding the rigors of daily abuse, I refer to the money making kind,

where tools are treated like a red headed step child...that remains to be seen.
