I've got a Logan Simplex which will permit the cutting of a piece of 
board along the 40" side.  I am not sure how that compares with the 
301.  However, I would be concerned with marring the print with the 
metal hold-down bar when pressing down to keep the print from 
slipping during a cut.  Also, I would imagine that you'd be changing 
blades for every print to assure a smooth cut

I never even looked at a monorail because of the poor performance of 
a low end monorail I had had before getting the Mastercut which is 
rock solid.  However, before I plunked down my money, I did bring in 
some extra prints to see how the trimmer would perform.  I'd suggest 
that you take that approach with the models you are considering and 
see if the difference is, in your mind, worth the price.
