Q for Left-tilters: Is LT really that much more beneficial than a RT
blade, or is it just a tad more safe?

Swingman's got it.

It's safer on a beveled rip cut. The primary benefit is that the offcut
is not trapped between the blade and the fence. If you put the fence to
the left of the blade you can get he same effect with a right tilt saw.

This is an unusual configuration with tablesaws for some reason,
although it's common with bandsaws. Go figure.
