Looking for advice/comparison of McNaughton Center-Saver system vs Woodcut Bowl Saver. How well do these things work?

I have the Mc Naughton in small and medium sizes and don't use them since I moved... If they didn't weigh so damn much I might send them to ya..lol Never used the Woodcut or Oneway savers but this one was highly recommended to me about 7 years ago...
I see that they've changes the tool rest swivel and the cutting tips now... There is a learning curve, but it you get large blanks it would be worth the time and waste... (I made wuite a few "funnels" in the precess... No use fo them here with what little wood is available..
I only have the McNaughton, but I have talked (extensively) with owners of all three systems.
The McNaughton has the steepest learning curve, it is also the only one that you can vary the shape of the cut, that is to say you have a choice rather then just cutting a hemisphere. To the point where I have used the straight cutter with patter forms and to core open form shapes
Thanks. I ordered the McNaughton.
The one thing about them is they require at least a 1.5 hp motor. That's what I have and it's barely enough...
I think they've added a laser feature.. I'd jump to that....
