I had opportunity to play around with a ts55, mft/3, and domino at woodcraft yesterday. I break down occasional sheet goods with shop made guides and circ saw. I don't like the process - both my cut quality and the dust. The festool stuff was very impressive, especially with the mft in the mix.
So...a little research shows the makita set up for quite a bit less coin, but no mft.. My thinking is to buy the makita saw, short rail and 118 inch rail. Cost about 640. Then buy the festool mft/3. Is this flawed logic? Also, I'm assuming makita saw plays well with festool track, correct??

An old review all of them have differences, you just need to go with what sounds like the best features for you. I have had 1 Festool, stinker. I have had 5 Dewalts, keep having guys offer me more than what I paid for them, go figure. I mostly like the DeWally bi-directional track. All the others you are constantly flipping, and with a long rail for 8' cuts I find that a huge PIA. Some have quipped about blade changes on the DeWally. I can't say I have ever noted a difficulty, but the end pretty much says it all. Brand loyalty,, and I have bought DeWalley for over 20 years. Prior to that I did use Mickey Mouse Kita, but their poor product, and especially customer service of that time, took them off my buy list for life. I will say it was during that time that DeWally zoomed as a pro tool brand, now obviously not so much. Everyone's experience drives their boat for them

Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

I have the Dewalt have to say I have no complaints with it. I have seen deals on them from time to time so you might want to do a bit of searching before you buy. I picked up the router plate also just haven't used it yet but I imagine it works well too
