I forgot one other point about the REAXX (from what I recall off the top of
my head):

The REAXX speed of lowering the blade is cited as being much slower than
the SawStop (but still seems quite fast).  Maybe something like 10ms vs
100ms?

I have no idea whether that relates to a small or large practical
difference in injury if your hand is moving at a measured pace or if it is
jerking into the blade.
