Default Parallel Jaw Clamps

After battling with a panel glue-up for way too long this afternoon,
I've decided to mortgage my firstborn and get some parallel jaw
clamps. There's several different brands, and I'm asking you guys what
kind you have, and what you wish might be a little different about
them.

I have The Jorgy Cabinetmasters, Bessey Revo, and the Jet.

I have had the Cabinetmasters for several years and am happy with them.
Compared to the older style Bessey clamps they IMHO have a smoother action
better aux foot, larger clamping area and larger handles.
The Jets are loaded with features however they feel difficult to tighten
properly. the screw handles just don't seem to be as easily to "clamp down
tightly" as the Cabinetmasters and or the Bessey Revo clamps.
The Bessey Revo clamps are great however I only have a pair in the 12"
version. I have 2 ,Jet 24" IIRC and 10, Cabinetmasters.
