I’ve been putting the Festool VS 600 through its paces and have uncovered three issues.
The first being some play in the template mounting bar: http://www.josephfusco.org/Videos/Vs_600_play.html
The two others involve the OF 1010 router and the clamping knobs: http://www.josephfusco.org/Videos/Vs_600_obstructions.html
Excuse the quality of the videos as I did them fairly quickly and also the links as there doesn’t appear to be a way to embed here.
If anyone has a fix for the mounting bar I’m all ears.

Your videos do a fine job of graphically displaying the shortcomings of this Festool jig. Have you contacted Festool?
Oh man, they really need to address those issues.
FWIW I use the Leigh D4R with the vacuum/router rest attachment which, so far, has no "gotchas".
Cheers,

Better life through Zoodles and poutine...
No I haven't, what are they going to tell me to do? ;-)I also have a D4 jig and I can tell you that the VS 600 is way easier to setup and use. You can be cutting dovetails in about 20 mins with the VS 600., not so with the D4.Don't get me wrong the bumping of the knobs is more of an annoyance then a show stopping issue. The mounting bar is a bit more worrisome though.http://www.josephfusco.org
