So I'm taking the next step and getting a dedicated rip blade. I've been happy with my combo blade, but I'm doing more and more of my own ripping and decided it's time to get a blade.

I'm looking at the Freud LM72R, 24 tooth, "industrial," rip blade for about $50. I have also found the LM74R, 30 tooth "glue line rip" for about $60. EDIT: there's also the LM74M which is the same as the LM74R except that it doesn't have the red coating, for ~$50.

I wanted to see if anyone has experience with these. Is the extra $10 worth it? I thought fewer teeth was better. I've been very happy with my freud combo blade. I can't afford a WWII, so don't go there. I'm trying to keep it around $50 if I can.

Thanks for any input.
