Rubi Rubi all the way or time for a change??

I recently got rid of my old rubi ts60 plus in favour of a sigma 3c3m max. Which cuts up to 720, it's a Beast and for the larger or thicker tiles it's leagues ahead of rubi. There are different handles, I found the max handle fine.
 
Asked this question a while back. Changed to a signal the 74cm version. Cuts are fantastic. Takes a bit of getting used to but the quality if the cuts far exceeds my old TX700. I use my TS40 plus for smaller jobs but for larger tile sigma is a winner.
 
Hiring a Sigma is a good step. I hired a 1200 Sigma. And that's the reason I am staying with Rubi. However, I wear varifocal specs, and need to look through bottom of lens to cut to lines. If I missed lines once using that infernal single rail, I missed it a dozen times. Fortunately I was working on a new build and the inaccuracies were less of an issue. I can understand "SigmaJunkies" because the Sigma is a better breaker, but personally it slowed me down and annoyed me intensely. So it's Rubi for me.
 
I've been thinking on the same line, have got tx 900 and tx 1200 but hear so many guys banging on about sigma stuff have wondering if it worth selling all the Rubi gear and making the switch, just always been a Rubi man and font want to regret the switch, but there are tiles I've come across that the Rubi s just don't deal with all that well now
Always had rubi ts 40 ts 60 trs 600 gave that one away tx 700 and tx900 but just brought sigma 1260 and I am now thinking of selling both tx cutters and replacing with sigma 700

For parallel cuts sigma measuring bar is very accurate so need to see cutting wheel
