Currently digging around for Linear rails, have been using the links from MP3DP v3 BOM. Given how long ago the v3 links were shared, maybe there’s better price/value options to consider on amzn or elsewhere?

Have seen forum recommendations for LDO Linear Rails from https://www.filastruder.com
Am looking on Zyltech site too.
Honestly, I wept a little when I saw the price of Linear Rails compared to M8 threaded rod. Am wondering whether Z axis performs significantly better with Linear rails enough to rationalize the cost and Y axis space saving? I appreciate using rods would probably increase overall height since Z stepper would be fastened to rod at top or bottom (with thrust bearing?).
