I'm a waiter's corkscrew fan and also have one (Screwpull, I think) with a two-step lever. A Rabbit requires me to find a separate foil cutter and I'm just too short to use it comfortably if the wine bottle's on the countertop. Plus I don't like the fact that the Rabbit requires me to have two hands on the Rabbit with no free hand to stabilize the bottle. With the waiter's corkscrew, I can grab the neck of the bottle in the same hand that holds the lever (fulcrum? physics was a long time ago). I always worry I'm going to spill the bottle when using the Rabbit.
