I am trying to understand what the functional differences are between these hold-down systems. Granted, the Jess-Em unit is prettier but I wonder if it is worth the near $200 premium. I had the Woodworker's Supply unit on my old Ridgid saw. While it worked, it was a pain to set up and had to be totally removed for narrow rips to allow for a push stick or a Grrrip'r.

Were I to purchase, the unit would be mounted on a Sawstop T-Glide (Biesmeyer clone) fence by means notmade obvious by either unit. It appears as though neither unit will work for narrow rips. Therefore ease of mounting & unmounting becomes paramount.

I would very much appreciate comments from anyone who uses either of these units.
