Default Bar clamps - is MLCS any good? Other recommendations?

I am looking to buy a 4ft bar clamp for cutting sheets of plywood.

Anybody have any experience with the MLCS Boomer Red Bar Clamp?
- Is $36.95 a good price?
- Does it pay to buy the back-to-back model for $60 which is
essentially two back-to-back bar clamps, allowing you to clamp the
piece to the table?

Any other recommendations on reasonably priced quality bar clamps?

Thanks


Just my luck!!!!

The latest Fine Homebuilding (November 2006 = #182) that arrived
yesterday had an article on the Edge Guides for guiding a table saw or
router.

Exactly what I wanted.
They (as always) gave the $500+ Festool the Best Overall though it is
really a system that also includes the table saw.

Best value went to the $110 Red-Line Cutting Guide that includes two
55inch lengths that can be screwed together rigidly to give a single
110 inch guide.
