I think you do have to agree though, that between the Domino 500 and
the new XL700, a large variety of tenon sizes are covered. I'd suggest
to you that you could take double the time to make your specialized
tenons and have even a better fit.

But, even you have a cut off time where you determine that it's not
worth further time and effort. The phrase "time is money" is not as
useless a rationale as your statement above would suggest.
