The new BORG which opened here in Aurora on Tuesday has a dado set by
Milbro (?) for $100 and a Freud set for $150. Is it worth it to spend
the extra $50 or am I being a cheapskate?

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.

No, Milbro is pretty good stuff.

I own the Forrest set and couldn't agree more!!! Buy the Forrest (it is
about 2x the price of the cheap set you found, but you'll save it on dados
done right the first time).

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.
