I'm curious if anyone has any comments on the new positioning jig system from Incra.

I'd like to add a jig to begin to incorporate dovetails and box joints into my work and was not sure about this product. From what I've seen it seems like it would be very time intensive and require repetative movements of the jig. While I understand these systems are designed to make that perfect it just seems like for every time something is moved there is potential for error. Also this unit seems a bit small in it total distnace of movement that might restrict the project size.
The price is certainly right but that's not the only consideration. Any first hand accounts would be great to hear.
