Diamond Wire Saw vs. Scroll Saw

Has anything had experience using either a diamond wire saw or scroll saw to frag Acan Lords or other hard corals? I'm thinking the water cooling option of the wire saw would be better, but at the same time a new unit is more expensive than a scroll saw. Your feedback would be much appreciated!

SAW

I would look into a lapidary saw if you wish to cut on a continued basis. They last forever if maintained. only downside is all your cuts are straight lined.
