Not hearing great things about Bora's quality, especially with those guide rails. Also, note that those are the "old generation" locking mechanism. The new ones (NGX) seemed to offer real improvements over these (WTX) when I read about both. There is a good breakdown/comparison of the two hidden somewhere on Bora's site.
I guess these get a lot of compliants, but i loved mine. Im an experienced builder and these are way better than a simple 2x4. I had no issues keeping them straight when breaking down sheet goods.

Personally, I would just go buy an aluminum square tube or angle and a pair of clamps instead of one of these 2-piece guides. I've been using the same aluminum tubing for probably a decade now. I have a 10' and a 5' section. Only real drawback is that the long one is difficult to transport.
This thing is awful. I bought it with all the accessories and it's almost unusable. I usually reach past it for some jointed stock and a couple clamps.

The design has too much flex for a long cut. You will end up with a curve. Also, the sheet good has to be perfectly flat. This is not a sale, it is trying to get rid of a bad product.
The key to keeping these straight in the middle section is to have a brace clamp perpendicular to the straight edge otherwise it will just bend on you and ruin your rip.
Haven't used that brand, but before buying a track saw I used them all the time, shorter version was like $15 from HF and decent quality.
Track saw is definitely worth the $$ if planning to use it more than once or twice.
