Question Going to get a new Rubi, but which one?

Options are Rubi TI-66-S or the Rubi TS-60 Plus.
What would you choose and why, I'm not worried about weight, just need it to be a good all-rounder. Not fussed about single or twin rail, as long as it cuts and breaks well I'll get used to it.

Cheers people

Why specifically Rubi?

No reason really, but the amount of happy customers must be testament to the quality of there tools.
I have no reason not to pick another brand, as long as they are as good and have the same reputation.

The TS range is poor IMO.
I have a TS50+ in the van that i have not used in about a year. I used it for about 6 months before going back to my Sigma.

The TX range on the otherhand is great.

Is the TI the Sigma/Montolit copy? IF so, it will be good, but why not just go for one of those instead?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. So do I go for the TX or TI. It would appear the TS is not what I am looking for. Are the Husky's better than Rubi, those that have used both?

I take it the Rubi TI is a copy of the Montolit?

Wouldn't like tosay as i have not seen the Rubi in the metal, but it operates in a similar way. The montolit you can adjust the breaker mechanism so you don't "crush" the tile. I don't know if the Rubi has this facility.....Dave?
