If you need "extreme" measuring accuracy
First, the best advice I can give you on whether you need any of the incra rulers. Go to YouTube and search for "incra rules." You want to watch the video "INCRA Rules - Complete Version." It is about 8 and 1/2 minutes long and covers each of there rulers. From this video you will get a sense as to which ruler(s) might be useful to you.
Finally, here is what I can offer that you will not find in the You Tube video I recommended.
The holes for marking are so small you will need a .5mm mechanical pencil. Or, you will need to use your utility knife to whittle down a fine point on a regular pencil. I have been using the later method, but finally bought a mechanical pencil. Someone said in a review that they come with a mechanical pencil. Mine did not.
One final note. The incra rulers are made of thin, pliable metal. As such I would not be storing them in my tool bucket! This is not at all a criticism, it is just stating a fact.

Easy to use time saver !!
Incra Marking rule was very easy to use and saves marking time a lot compared to use regular rule to mark on the wood.
Quality of the product also looks fine but I could see some kind of stain like thing on the surface of the rule.
It seems to came from some kind of etching process while engraving the numbers and lines on the rule and it doesn't affect the usability of the product at all.
However, it would be nice if the incra controls the quality of their products more accurately.
Overeall, very satisfied.
A Little Thin
I think grooves in a ruler is a great idea - very accurate. The metal is thinner than I expected, I'm afraid to bend it.
