A lot of leverage at 9'! I'd recommend a roof rack for transport.

Klein quality is not consistent. I could only find a perfect one in about 10 pliers.
In what way are they better?

I need to trim some garage door guide wires and my lineman cutters won't even nick it!

Depends on the hardness and diameter of the wire rope. These will cut medium hard wire up to 4.6 mm; hard wire up to 3.5 mm and piano wire with maximum 3.0 mm diameter. I would probably go with CoBolts or cutters that are designed for hard wire rope for that, but these might get the job done.
I'm a fan of Klein tools, but Knipex is the gold standard in diagonal cutters.
The length is good for leverage and they are sharp. The issue is the width of the handles. These Knipex look similar in design. When using them repetitively like cutting tie wire, there is very little room for your finger inside the handles to spring them open again making them slower than a design like Klein's. I was so happy to brag up my German dykes until I started using them and realized that my old 8" Klein's were faster. Also, the tip of the jaws are squared off making it harder to get the tips into tight spots to cut. These are probably just issues that one would encounter if you are using them primarily for rebar. I am sure that for regular in the open cutting of wire, these would be great, and the price is great as well.
Just giving an example of real world usage outside the electical world.
$35 is pretty Slick. In for one.
Ones like these seem more agile for small spaces, but maybe they're geared for precision work instead?

The ones you linked are specifically for electronics, while this style of diagonal cutters are typically used by electricians and mechanics and are *much* bigger and can cut cables and even some nails. I own both styles of cutters, although not the exact models.The use cases are completely different. I personally would not use the cutters you linked on any hardened material since they are typically used for cutting component leads, soft wires and such. They have sharp cutting edges that can be damaged with misuse.
