gonna buy this next week for my DIY plan (wooden floor & decking), reviews seems very good, or are there other better that I might have missed?

I have that one. It's been great.

There's a saw guide that goes with it which I'd recommend

It makes getting square cuts a lot easier.

I'd just get a sharp handsaw or a circular saw. Jigsaws are for wiggles.

Yes, I've done laminate and 20mm engineered wooden floors with it

Less mess than a circular saw/chop saw, quicker and easier than by hand.

I bet its not quicker and easier when you include faffing but whatever works best for you.

Also a fair amount of those reviews are poor.

Yep, I have the jigsaw mentioned in the OP and it's been excellent. Also looked at that guide but bailed out due to the strength of the negative reviews.
