I've had my 2700xl for a few months now. I must say ," Bravo Rousseau." I formerly had the trojan tablesaw stand for my old Makita 2708. I almost got another one for my new makita 2703. I'm glad I didn't.  Don't get me wrong, the trojans are very nice . I love the hand truck  design. It's very portable. Regardless, I decided on the 2700 xl. The fit  and finish are superior. It provides a wider and deeper platform for more  stability. The construction is heavier. The fence is both larger and more  refined. The side board is actual formica top and bottom, not thin melamine  on only one side ,like on the Trojan. Probably the most important difference  is that the saw is not mounted permanently in the stand. If you buy the  trojan you are stuck with the whole contraption all the time. Not good if  you just want to make a few quick cuts on small material. With the Rousseau  you have the option of using the saw alone or in the stand. I highly  recommend the 2700xl. ( or the 2700 if you have a different saw ) It makes  ripping large sheet goods a breeze. Even if you are alone. It extends the  rip capacity to 28 inches . If you require more, extentions are available.  The fence is very sturdy just like the rest of the unit. It is very  accurate, easy to adjust and very smooth. If you are concerned about the  saw moving around or being loose because of not being permanently mounted,  don't be. Rousseau's engineers devised a very simple yet sturdy and fully  adjustable temporary mounting system. Pop the saw in and it doesn't budge.  Pop it back out just like that. It doesn't get any better than this. I also  bought the outfeed table. With it even long stock is a snap. No dancing  around the spinning blade to complete cuts from the back side. It supports  4x8 sheet goods very well. The whole thing is well engineered and well  built. Buy one, it could save your back, or maybe even your fingers. I wish  everything was as useful as my Rousseau.
