Kreg-Flip Stop Best in Power & Hand Tools

I recently built a miter cutter and installed a Kreg guide at the top of the fence. I placed the flip stop on the left (my most used side) and the stop block on the right. Both the flip stop and the stop block work very well as a stop block. It's so easy to use with a tape measure to reduce your measurements. However, the flipstop has a 1/4 inch offset for the cursor. While the stop block offset is 3/8 inch for the cursor? Why? They must be the same. So I had to add flip-stop tape to the left of the blade and pressure block tape to the right of the blade. Now that I think of the problem I had to send the stop block back and put flip stops on both sides, well! The stop block has other issues as well (I would only rate 2). The cursors are pieces of plastic that fit into a slot on each side of the block. This is a straight slot with no stop, so when installing the plastic pieces you need to make sure they stick out 3/8" on each side. The Flip Stop has a channel end that makes it impossible to insert at any offset other than 1/4 "".
