Any suggestions for a good carbide-tip 7-1/4" rip blade?

For my trusty old Skil 77? I know there are various combination blades that purport to do a good job of ripping, but not all that make that claim even have a ATB&R configuration with raker teeth that I would consider essential for ripping. For my situation (making a BUNCH of full-length rip cuts in the 8/4 hickory I mentioned back in the planer sled thread) I'd really prefer a FTG (flat top grind) blade designed specifically for ripping, but I'm not really seeing any (in the obvious places) in a 7-1/4" configuration. I know that Freud makes a line of rip blades, but not in that size. Any leads? Real world experience?

Of course, the minute I post here I included "FTG" in my search (which I didn't think to do before) and found several candidates (in some of the "obvious" places :-)), but I'd still like to hear any opinions if anyone has experience with specific blades. Thanks.
