I had looked at those. I forgot about them before it was too late... I do agree that it feels much safer than this new compact version.

I was going to post earlier about this but I decided not to.
The gist of my earlier "almost" post, was the large corner jig works super on larger pieces (5" and larger) however on narrower pieces there is the issue of clamping the narrow stock to the jig securely enough to be able to attack it with a handheld router. If the narrow piece moves at all, you're now taking off material in places you don't want. Thus the new smaller corner jig complements the larger jig perfectly as the small set has all of the same radiuses as the larger set.
Pieces larger than 5" are held squarely and firmly in place.

On the bottom, both alignment rails contact both sides of the material and prevent it from shifting.

On narrower pieces only one side of the material contacts the alignment rail.

The material can shift a small amount if not properly clamped and fitting clamps and a handheld router in the same real-estate can be an issue.

Bottom view showing contact with only one alignment rail. I've done narrow pieces but you need to take your time and sometimes readjust the clamps several times to give you room for the router.
