6. How does the selection of available bits affect the look of the
finished dovetails?

With the Leigh the bits differ in angle and the larger bits are, suited for
thicker stock.

Only for half blinds. *For through dovetails they are all 8 degrees.
The Akeda is the only jig that does different angles for through
dovetails.

I agree that the Akeda has the nicest looking dovetail angles because
they move with the thickness of the wood. An 8 degree angle just does
not look right on a 1/2" piece of wood.

Add to it that the Akeda is much easier to use than any other jig on
the market and you have a winning combination.
