Joinery Tool Decision: Dowel, Mortise/Tenon or Router? Jessem, Mlcs etc

I havent done any fancy joinery yet. I have a double kreg pocket hole and an Incra LS router table and positioner.





Looking to get into joinery to make pieces without screws BUT I cant decide on what would be best and cost effective.

Of course if $$ was no object I'd have a Festool Domino ordered. I was looking at the Porter Cable 557 biscuit joiner BUT then I came across these below.



Dowelmax



Jessem Dowel Jig - Either 8350 or the 8300 Paralign. Not sure the real differences/advantages.



MLCS Horizontal Router Sliding Table "LINK":http://ift.tt/1GrVTDB



Leigh Dovetail with mortise attachment. The Pro FMT is too much $$$.





I can't decide on what would be best to buy and use. The MLSC is only $220 shipped with the sliding XY platform. I have some bits already and just need to add a Bosch fixed plate. This would be the cheapest.





I like the portability of both the Dowelmax and Jessem setup. Cant decide if the 8350 or Paralign 8300 is better/what different.



Could also make a table top mortise tenon jig based on online plans.
