I had the jayhawk and have seen the innovative...both are fine machines, but I like innovatives new clamping system better. The Delta press they use also has laser alignment, the ball cup is a little larger, just a few little things would make me choose innovatitive. But either one is good if you just want to do the basics.

Are you buying new or used?
 
I personally prefer the VacuJig.. even the base model is the same nice big sturdy drill and the ball holding system is great...
 
Its more expensive than the more simple desk top models (and WAYYY harder to lift into place in your workshop!) but well worth it..
