I bought the powertec one off of Amazon last week because I refused to pay for a festool track that costs more than what I paid for the used festool tracksaw itself.
Festool makes some very high quality tools. They do not recondition other manufacturers tool. One of the items they are really well known about is how almost all tools are designed around dust collection. Depending on what you are doing they might be a great investment or overkill if you rarely use them.
I picked up a few tools last time this came around, and missed out on a few I was looking for last time. Picked up a sander this time. Will wait and see which warranty I get this time - last time almost everything came with the full warranty instead of the 1-year reconditioned coverage.
Everything I have ordered from Festoolron has always given me the 3 year warranty when adding it to my tool list in Festool's site.
At least one tool that I bought off the recon site only showed the 1 yr warranty after I registered it. In fact, first time I tried, the registration failed because it stated that the serial number was already registered to someone. I needed Festool to clear the database of the previous owner, which they did for me. Unlike the stuff I have gotten from that same site that looks new, this particular tool was obviously reconditioned. Not complaining, just giving a heads-up .... some stuff seems new, some stuff may be recon.
Does anyone know of cheaper aftermarket alternative tracks compatible with Festool?

Works flawlessly. No problem whatsoever.
I really like my powertec tracks as well. Got the 2x 55" set and love them.
FWIW, it's a phenomenal tool, you should just get it at full price! - Joking aside, it is a great tool but it's prohibitively expensive for most. Once you have it and aren't hurting from the cost of it anymore, it's a great tool to have in the arsenal for quickly building furniture and will probably be an 'heirloom'.

Makita is a bit better than an 'aftermarket alternative' IMO, but their tracks are compatible with Festool. The newer Milwaukee M18 track saw works on the Makita tracks, too - and I think Wen tracks follow suit - perhaps with a bit less precision. M18 tracks are apparently slightly thicker which might affect your cut depth if used interchangeably with different tracks and/or saws.
I bought a reconditioned T18 bare tool around black friday. It had a lot of problems with the chuck and with the top selection switch slipping out of position during use. I made a warranty claim and sent it in for repair and I had it back in less than a week. Works great now.
