DOMINO Retractable Left/Right Stops - Pins Vs Tabs

[charlie b]

I have the DOMINO with the retractable left/right "stop pins".  The newer model has retractable left/right "stop tabs".

Two questions

1.  is the distance from the mortise center to the "inside" of the tabs still 37mm?

2.  with the retractable "pins" model, you could get magnetic "spacers" sized to change the "distance to mortise" centerline to more "imperial friendly" 3/4". 5/8" and 1".  With the plastic retractable tabs there's nothing a magnet spacer can attach to.  So has anyone come out with "imperial friendly" spacers for the "tab" model of the DOMINO?

There's a lot of debate on the pros and cons of the pins versus tabs.  I personally like the pins, and I have those spacers you're talking about.  They're great for varying edge alignment offset.

The tabs can be locked back, which is a plus.  Rick's MGS is a nice accessory according to those that have it and that second website's pics & overview.

Charlie, I have to agree, Rick's MGS sounds like it's exactly what you want. I've got one but haven't had the chance to use it yet.
