I had the smaller version of the akeda with all the options. I loved it! Especially the dust collection. It was the best dust collection I have personally had with any dovetail jig. Hooked up to my Fein vac it collected maybe 85% of the dust. Maybe more. Pretty straight forward setup. And it cut nice quick dovetails too!
It is expensive, but I felt it was worth it. I am sure the larger one is sweet also. I never used more than 6" or 8" with the one I had so I don't know how much use one would get out of the extra capacity. I stopped using it so I sold it, but would not hesitate to get another if I had a kitchen of drawers to make.
