Has anyone taken a look at the Precision Beaded Face-Frame System by Kreg? I'll be starting work on kitchen cabinets at some point and this system looks pretty slick. Of course for the price it should be, but then again making something similiar vs. the time to correctly do it may not be worth it. Time vs. money?

I have looked at this system because I build a lot of beaded face frames. It is slick but the set up time is pretty extensive. Currently I run the beads on a shaper and glue and nail them to the face frames. I really don't think that the Kreg system would speed up my time unless I had several router tables set up. Also the lay out has to be perfect. That is hard to maintain and a few mistakes would really be a back set. I plan to stay with my current system.
