Which powered wheel tile cutter?

Hi,
trawled back through Goggle Groups a way but couldn't find this question
answered.
I gather that:
(1) Some people find the PlasPlugs plastic tile cutters a bit flexible.
(2) Steel tile cutters tend to rust.
So is it best to go for a more expensive PlasPlugs model, or are there
better alternatives?
Screwfix shows the Erbauer at £44.99 or the Rexon at £59.99.
Alternatively (if I can find anywhere with one in stock) B&Q do the
PlasPlugs Pro Tiler Plus for £39.99.
Anyone have experience of these models, and can give me some feedback?
TIA

I used the Plasplug one and never had a complaint with it. Did a
serious tiling with it - the tiles were thicker than normal and
wouldn't break so all cutting had to be done with the tile saw.
Excellent tool - can't sing it's praises highly enough.
Can't remember any problem with flexing - also can't remember if it had
a jig for cutting on the diagonal, but it did have a jig for beveling
edges which I used for corner tiles.
If you can do all your cutting outside all and good - otherwise the cat
litter tray sounds a good idea. There is a cutter guard and you can
angle that to prevent splash back. The blades aren't that cheap but I
did a whole bathroom (20 sq m) with 2.
