I used the conturo on a job last year, it worked ok. I used it for site-installed paneling. One seriously annoying part of using it, once you start the band it runs until the material runs out. So, I always had to plan the length of my run, which means I'm going through more edge banding because I'm trimming off a bunch of material.
You need to plan your approach on the work, you have to be able to press firmly against the edge and if you don't it'll make a thick glue line.
For shop-made work, I much rather laminate solid material to the substrate, than veneer faces right over the edge material. This looks better than edge banding in my opinion, but it's more work.
