Everything Veritas has ALWAYS been above average in accuracy, precision and workmanship. They appear to take extra care when it's their own brand.
I have one and it's as flat as they say it is.

I have the steel one - works wonders! Far more accurate than I am, tho' sometimes that's not saying much. I only wish they had a 36" one as well.

Starrett sells a 36", 48", and 72" straight edge, as well as shorter lengths.
Alas, Starrett stuff is out of my price range, for the limited use I'd put them to.

For a reasonably priced longer straight edge, try carpet installers tools

Robin, Is it extruded or solid I-beam type? Does it have hardened edges? If so, put me down for one of the 50"

the steel is .001 (or .002) on both edges, the alum is one edge only

carpet laying doesn't need that kind of accuracy, and the tools see a lot of abuse. I doubt that the manufacturers would bother.
Hi -
It's the same extrusion as our current one - also a milled edge.
We claim straight to within .003" over the length of all sizes in aluminum. Our first batch of aluminum straightedges was straight to within about .001" though...of course - we're not going guarantee that....
