I have the Jessem guides on my Mark V (520 Power Pro) and on my router table. Love them! I started out years ago with a ripstrate and used it for a very long time. I then upgraded to the board buddies and used them until Jessem released these. Easy to set up and use. Very effective and adds a good measure of safety top using the table saw. I picked up a couple of pieces of aluminum and made essentially, long SS T Nuts. These are attached to the Jessem fence on the bottom and allow me to slide the whole set up off and on in a few seconds.

I made a similar jig for my router table JessEm stock guides. I couldn't see paying another $250 for the table saw version when I can share the one I have for the router table. The downside is the wheels don't extend out as far for the router table guides but like you I also have the board buddies which I use for larger width rips.
