Looks like a personal preference thing. I love V cuts and always used to use the Boston tabletop back at Ries in when I was in Chitown. There are many cheaper V cutters out there and thats the main reason I think many people don't like the cut. Unless the cutter is really sharp and built well, it will tear the cut rather than maka a nice cats eye. If you've used the boston tabletop, I know you'll like the cut. I have one of the prometheus cutters but they weigh a ton. I used to have a boston pocket model but lost it somewhere in my moves and have never wanted to put the $120 for a pocket cutter but if a group buy makes them a little cheaper, I'll definately be interested in one.
