Used a couple times, mostly sat in my cabinet, has original box.

I was wondering if anyone has a little time to review/confirm a Mitsubishi 3 head system I have in a shopping cart. My Manual J calculations put the total BTU's about right. The 28' x 38' second floor addition will utilize the existing boiler with F.H.W. baseboard if/when necessary. The project is in S.E. NH.
25,000 BTU 20 SEER Mitsubishi Tri Zone Mini Split Heat Pump System 6+9+12
Model: MXZ-3C24NA3 / MSZ-GL06 / MSZ-GL09 / MSZ-GL12 ID: 8093
Heat Pump Condenser 1 x 25,000 BTU Mult Zone Condenser
Zone 1 1 x 6,000 BTU Wall Mounted Mitsubishi Mini Split GS Series - Air Handler
Zone 2 1 x 9,000 BTU Wall Mount
Zone 3 1 x 12,000 BTU Wall Mount
Specifically, I can't seem to find a good reason for the different (newer?) model 6k wall unit. Are they better? Should I try to get them in the 9 and 12K flavors?
The price point seems to be good at $4k. Package comes with 3 remotes. I've already ordered the line sets, wall mount, wiring, ect.(less than $1k). They should be here today; I have to get them installed on Monday to beat the insulation crew.
Obviously this isn't my primary occupation, but I've installed a few (shy of a dozen) mini-splits with no issues after several years. This is my first multi-head install. BTW, no license req'd. in NH.

Kreg Mortise mate |

Looks like kreg has entered the loose tenon joinery game.
Just saw a video for the Kreg Mortise mate, looks like they are trying to make a version of the loose tenon drill guide that Jessem sold as the mortise mill.
I have personally had a bunch of different ways to cut tenons over the years.
2 hollow chisel mortises and before that a drill press adapter kit.
The woodtek matchmaker multifunction but did mortises.
The Leigh FMT.
Several dowel jigs even one really good one that was over $200
The pantorouter by Mathias wandel, built one and then bought a used one.
Several router jigs,
The Jessem mortise mill.
These were all things I bought trying to avoid spending the high price of the Festool Domino.
As you can see, I would have been ahead on cost just buying the Festool, unless you consider that I did make a profit buying and selling some of the above. But I still have the pantorouter, the Jessem (in a box collecting dust hasn’t been used in years), and the dowel jig.
Eventually I did break down and found a used DF500 domino and bought it for about 2/3 the cost of new at the time or about $800
That was my first Festool, and since then I have bought several more.
If you’re on a tight budget, I can see the value of the Kreg but at $300 if your budget is that tight, you probably would be better served with a good router jig.
Just my opinion, for what it’s worth.
