Default Porter-Cable Omnijig--Worth it?

Hey all,


I'm thinking of taking the plunge on a decent dovetail jig. It looks like
the PC Omnijig has all the bells and whistles to make even me look good.
Now the 24 inch version has been slated for release several times and now
scheduled for sale in late February. Anyone think it would be worth the
wait? The instruction video, starring Norm, makes it look almost
foolproof. Anyone have any experience with the 16 inch version? Is it
worth the $450? Is there anything better out there?


Thanks,
Mark


Yes, there is better. *Take a serious look at the Leigh D4R. * It is the one
I own and use. * It also was the "Best Overall" award by FWW in 11/06.
Only a little more expensive than the omni jig and MUCH more verstile. *"Buy
once and cry once."

I second the suggestion of the Leigh. I have a 16" Omnijig, and if I
was going to do it all over again, I would probably get the Leigh.
Much more flexible in what it can do.
