Picked a Domino joiner over pocket holes for my last kitchen job

I was doing a set of shaker style cabinets for a client in Denver and had to decide between the Festool Domino or just sticking with my Kreg jig. Went with the Domino on a $4k job and the alignment was so much better, saved me about 2 hours of sanding filler. Anyone else made the switch and stuck with it?

Domino splurge is worth it for the time saved on sanding.

Got a buddy who builds high end furniture and he swore by pocket holes for years. He finally tried a Domino on a custom entertainment center and texted me a picture of the joint with "this is witchcraft" typed under it lol. He said the whole thing went together like butter, no fighting with clamps or fighting twisted boards. Told me he spent an extra hour cursing at his Kreg jig on the next job because he couldn't justify the cost yet. He still brings it up every time we grab beers, man.
