I've found that aluminum rail tends to be much more forgiving. Something about the steel rail always gave me fitment issues. Perhaps the Phoenix Contact steel stuff I was using is just slightly over sized. Aluminum all the way now. Easier to cut and clean. And no, there's no way in hell I'd every spend $$ on a rail cutter for the one or two a month that I do.
