    I looked into importing the Leigh D4R from Leevalley.com it was U$450 plus U$102 for postage so U$550 versus A$650 plus shipping from Carbatec. The biggest difference seems to be in extras and templates, they are up to triple the price here. So if you are investing in a full set of stuff it may much be cheaper to import. Import duties shouold not apply as the total cost should be under A$1,000.

    If I had to have only one it would be the Leigh. I have both but only use the Incra for sliding DT's, slot's and long tenon's and little bit, little bit cut's on my router table, for that stuff it shines. When I bought the Incra I got the 24"(?) arm overkill and just gets in the way, the 16/17" is all most ever need if you go Incra. If you were mounting this an a table saw with a router insert that would make the 24" practical but still could cause a space problem when used for a TS fence. Most of the time no issue, hard to find any fence more micro adjustable than the Incra fence for a saw, but scarey spendy.

    Depends on what your doing. The right tool always depends on what your doing and how you prefer to do it, $, space available etc. I got the 25" and wish I'd got a 32. It only takes up more space when it's in use. When stored you just slip the positioner up to the tool or take it off...
