I like them and prefer them over featherboards most of the time. Not in all cases, but most. They're built like a tank and well machined. Some will disagree...the usual "make your own featherboards blah blah blah". In the end, do what makes your setup safer and the user more comfortable.

I'd agree with this, I've got both the router and table saw guides. On the router table you'll hit more frequent instances where you'll need to take em off, but overall they're great.

If my table saw fence has t-slots, is there a reason the router table guides wouldn't work on my table saw?

It will work. The difference is the table saw version is more large boards friendly. It is spring loaded so it arguably produces good down force while still being easy to feed in, also the wheels come out and away from the fence which gives more stability to large cuts. Also if you do side mounting with the router version, the kick back protection will be dependent on the strength of the T slots and T bolts.
I'm no engineer but I have both versions and there is a reason why the table saw version is spring loaded and adds a third direction of adjustability. you want the one-way wheels relatively close to the blade, one ahead of the blade, one on the outfeed. You can't easily accomplish that with the router guides on a table saw. Yes, it could work in some cases but why would you take the chance?
Looks interesting. I looked at the tablesaw model and found it odd that their videos never show the end of a cut when one is using a push stick; the videos always end short. Otherwise you have to keep hopping over the guides to continue pushing. So if you're cutting say a 1/2" off 4" wide stock how would one push it through when their guides are in the way? I only see their gadget useful with maybe sheet goods, maybe not.

Thanks - worked and I grabbed a set. Have the table saw version already.
