Yes, it is a better saw than the fret ones (but not in price). I no longer use the fret, but I got mine for much less than half the original price as its owner decided hand cut dovetails were not his thing.

Would I have switched if the saw were to be paid for its full retail price? Nah. Unlike the dovetail saw, the fret or coping saw matters little in the final quality of the dovetails.
