What's the best dovetail jig for the money?

For many years I have been using a Craftsman dovetail jig. I don't do a lot of dovetails and it was just 'ok'. I'm looking to buy a new dovetail jig and I'm considering the Porter-Cable 4212. I'd like to get a Leigh but seem to be very expensive. Any thoughts, folks?

Thanks,
Rocky

I really like this one from MLCS for $90.00
It's just a aluminum template you fasten to a wood block.
It makes through dovetails and is adjustable.
Very simple.
