Thinking about getting a slider--K2/3 or Rhinoslider?

The creator of the rhino slider happens to live about 15 miles from where I live and he says I can pick it up later instead of having it shipped.

I'm looking for something convenient and it seems 36-48" is the right length.
I primarily shoot weddings now but would be using it for other things.

Do you guys have an opinion on which slider to get with a budget of $300-400?
I will be adding moco later yes.

The K-3080 is an amazing slider for the price and extremely sturdy. I'm not sure of the K2 series but it looks like the Varavon Lite Slider which I used to own. It was extremely smooth but it didn't feel sturdy enough for me with a 5D and 35L lens, the entire plate had fell forward off the track causing me to crack my ND filter. But, like I said this is just based on the Varavon Lite which looks extremely similar to the K2 so I"m not sure if there is a difference.

Concerning the Rhino, I'm interested in it myself but I haven't seen reviews of it. The website dslrvideoshooter.com covered it in a post and had nothing but good things to say about it.
