this is one of two long cutters that came on the market recently.
the other is by Sew Easy, but it will only go to 4-1/2".

I got the Sew Easy (but secretly wish I'd gotten Havell's wider one.) it's supposed to cut through 8 layers, but i had to back that up to 6.

the blades that came in my Havell's hand-held cutters were outstanding, so i expect their long cutter will perform as advertised.

the old Fiskars model will only cut through one layer at a time.

i've never seen the June Tailor Shape CutPro Ruler in person, so could only guess about how useful it might be.
They all cost about the same (if you shop around), so the only drawback i could think of in comparison is the the JT would require more minimum workspace to use.
