The AI dovetail is very sturdy and reliable. I wanted to get that for my AIAWSM, but wasn't available at that time (longer wait, which I didn't want). Went with the pic rail. No regret whatsoever. Agree that would be nice to have some cants on the rail, but the AI mounts have various degree of canting to accomodate to your liking.
One caution about the dovetail mount. You have to use AI proprietary dovetail mounts. Otherwise, you may not be able to mount your scopes. I am not aware of any aftermarket AI dovetail mount out there. The beauty of the AI dovetail mount is its simplicity and follow the KISS principle, which I like very much.
