Default Cheap Dovetail Jig

A while back I wanted to buy an inexpensive ($150) dovetail jig. I had my eye on the one that Rockler has. I know it isn't as feature packed as some of the better ones but I liked the price because I don't think I will do much with dovetails. The one day I saw an identical looking dovetail jig on sale at Harbor Freight for like $30! I figured I had nothing to lose so I bought it. By every measurable visual standard it is an identical machine. However, Rockler offers different pattern plates which I can only guess would work on the HF jig. Has anyone ever used either of these? I still haven't used mine but would love to hear from someone who has.
