aligning table leaves - pins or "eveners"?

I am making an extension table with two leaves. I saw at rockler small
clips that screw under table halves and leaves for alignment.

These look easier to install than trying to accurately drill holes for
alignment pins. Is anyone familiar with these "clips" and if so how
well do they work/substitute for traditional alignment pins?

Thanks.

Those will be inherently easier to install accurately as they use a common
surface with no measuring to install. Pins
will have to be carefully and accurately placed.
