Jules I have carried and used a Toboggan a good bit, but have only handled the Lil' Lady. If food prep is one of the reasons you like the Toboggan, then you will likely love the guard-less-ness of the LL, though the handle isn't as high. Personally I like the more drop of the edge on the Toboggan over a lot of others, and wish I had a guard-less variant. If the angled handle of the Toboggan bugs you, some say it does them, then you should really like the LL. Just my 2 cents from what I know so far.
