What exactly makes the Tite-Mark’s performance better than, say, Lee Valley’s wheel marking gauge? Does it just come down to the nice blade?

If I really want to stop at a corner, it’s easy to see where the edge of the wheel intersects the surface of the wood. The fact that the scribed line is not quite as deep for a fraction of an inch doesn’t bother me. The rest of the cut is sufficient as a guide for tools to follow.

That’s a handy looking gauge but with a wheel cutter is there a danger of scoring further than intended?
To cut the full length of the line to an even depth requires that the centre of the wheel reaches the point above the end of the line, and that means the arc of the wheel goes beyond that point – scoring wood not intended to be cut.
