Default dado sets: comments on delta 35-7680?

My Systimatic Fine dado set has been sharpened for the last time. But
it's a set I've never been pleased with for any kind of crosscuts in
plywood (especially oak).

From what I can gather from the literature, a replacement set can
either be an A grade (Freud SD508, Infinity, Ridge, Forest Amana,
Systimatic Super Fine, Dicor, Forrest) all starting at about $200, or
the B grade (Freud SD208, Systimatic Fine, others?) starting around $85.
The tradoffs seem to be the flat bottoms and the way they handle plywood.

I'm just wondering where this Delta blade fits into the mix. The price
is on the B grade side, yet the cutters look similar to the A grades
(Forrest). Can anyone comment on the performance of this blade on
plywood, and in particular, crosscuts in red oak and cherry?

Thanks,
Bill
