Is Freud dado set worth 50% more?

Depends on what you will use the dados for. If you want the cuts with little
chio out and a reasonably square surface, then yes you are being a cheapskate.
Spend even more and get the Forrest, far superior to Freud's. No chipout.
Square bottoms.
I don't get any chipout with my Freud SD508 and the bottoms are also
square. While I love my WWII I don't see any need to jump up to the
Forrest dado.
