VS 600 dovetail jig vs Leigh DR Pro

[epicxt]

Ok, question for those of you who have used both these systems. I've got a line on a used VS600 jig with both box and dovetail templates. Any insight to pros and cons to these two systems? My main concerns are dust collection and joint quality.
Cheers!

I've never tried the VS 600, but the Leigh Super Jig 18" with the VRS system is great for dust collection and adjustability.

Good to know. All I've ever had was an old Keller jig. It has worked well, but definitely has a limited span without re-setting.

Speaking from the "research only" side of the fence ... I've spent a lot of time looking at various jigs and have determined I will get the Leigh. The Leigh actually offers additional DC with and vacuum accessory kit.

The combination of configurable fingers and the Isoloc templates are a superior offering to the VS600.

I think the VS600 would shine if you only ever wanted to do standard and regular joints and didn't want the the overhead of the finger setup.
