RE: Bitzenburger or BPE
The BPE is a decent jig. It's even got a couple extra settings for fletching orientation that the Bitz doesn't have. However, it's not as precise and repeatable as the Bitz and the magnet isn't half as strong as the one on the Bitz. You've got to be on your toes with the BPE or things won't turn out the way you want.
Bitzenberger is the best. Period.

RE: Bitzenburger or BPE
I have both, and both are great. The BPE is more adjustable, if you want that; but the Bitz is more rugged and simple, and doesn't have little set screw/plastic stops to lose. It is significantly more expensive though.
Glad you like the Bitz.

RE: Bitzenburger or BPE
I have BPE Pro that I have been using for 5 or 6 years with no real complaints. It lets you adjust it quite a bit and though the "one fletch at a time" setup is somewhat slow compared to others is does allow for very precise adhesion.
