Thanks for all the replies!

Ever since I saw The Wood Whisperer's reviewcast of the Domino, I’ve wanted one. The rest of the Festool catalog seems too high-end for me, compared to the other more moderately priced tools out there. I completely agree that the dust collection system, and the majority of the other tools, are just out of the hobbyist / small production shop price range.

But the Domino is unique. I think it is brilliant to provide a tool that creates standardized mortise and loose tennon joinery. It provides all the benefits of biscuit joiners, but at a far superior strength. It may not be right for every project, and may not help me improve my joinery skills, but I really think it would be handy!
