Hand saws for flagstone cutting - Re-posted

I'm in the market for some new hand saws for cutting flagstone. I do a lot of large sheet (10-15 sq.ft) irregualr bluestone installs. We pride ourselves on the tightness of our pattern and often cut stones to fit. We currently use 4" angle grinders with diamond blades. I am interested in the Alpha AWS 110 or similar wet/dry hand saws and am curious if anyone has experience with them. Specifically things like cutting speed, water flow rates, and overall efficacy. I like the small grinders because they enable precise curved cuts - a requirement of their potential replacements. Any input on the matter is welcome. Thanks
