I am with you on that one. Here in the US, we have gotten so used to the 150 to 200 buck jigs, that work well for quick and efficient fabrication of 1/2" stock, it would sure be nice to have the ability to do that deal with simply changing a template. I suppose however, for a PC Jig that is under 175, it is hard not to just dedicate it to 1/2" and dedicate a little PC690 as well.
