I'm trying to decide between the regular one and the super one. The jumbo one is even bigger but unfortunately doesn't do the fine/medium/coarse blades, so I'm not really considering it at this time (although it would be a good alternative to a cabbage shredder).
So I guess I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts. Have you found that there were times where the regular wasn't wide enough? I understand the regular is 3.5" wide and the super is just under 5" wide, but am not sure if that is the usable blade width or the overall width.
From the pictures I've seen, it almost looks like the finger screws are made of metal on the super Benriner versus colored plastic on the regular model. It also looks the the super has two knobs to adjust the thickness instead of just one (not sure if one versus the other is superior in preventing uneven slices due to a slightly lop-sided cutting surface?).
The additional cost isn't really a big deal, and the blades are basically a few bucks apart too.
One last question about replacement blades I understand you can sharpen the flat one but am wondering about the fine/medium/coarse? I'll probably order some replacement blades while I'm at it so wouldn't mind having a sense of what I should consider getting.
Thanks KKF
