Does anyone have experience using the Omega alignment tool or the alignment tool sold by Versalab? Which is most accurate, easy to use?

I have the Versalab Parallel. Very easy to use and most likely more accurate than I'll ever need it to be.

The Omega tool works ok. The Versalab device is better and pricier- and more accurate than the Omega designers ever dreamed of. Be prepared to shim up your enlarger .

I use two mirrors. I scratched a small circle in the coating on one. This goes in the negative stage. The second one goes across the bottom of the lens or on the easel. This creates a barber-shop effect. Not as accurate as the Versalab, but a lot cheaper! I had a harder time figuring out where to put the shims and how to modify the C760 to make it more adjustable.
