just went to the kreg website and they have the pic’s of the new jig up on it. Looks pretty cool. It has a dust collection port, better clamping location, more adjustability and some other nice upgrades. The only negative I see from the pic’s is it doesn’t come with the mini jig but with all the positives, I can get over that. I think the MSRP is listed as $149, reasonable for what you get.

dang the luck!
after lusting after one for several years i finally bought one two weekends back.
ARRRGGGHHH (insert head banging against desk sound here)
it works pretty sweet. kinda wished i had the small one a few summers back when i built my aunt's cedar deck. would have been just the ticket to toe-screwing the handrail sections to the the 4 X 4 posts. made a custom cedar handrail with the bottom side grooved out to accept the turned cedar spindles. at close to $5 a piece they added up real fast.
now if the Kreg people would make a larger version of their bandsaw fence. i have an 18" BS and i get tired of clamping a wooden fence to it's table top to adjust for drift.
That looks great. It looks like they really put a lot of thought in the tool. The price is very fair as well.
