Howdy,
just wondering if anyone has any experience with these magnetic
featherboards:

I'm considering buying one of them, should be useful for my Veritas
steel router table...

But there's also this model to consider:

So the question is, what's the best solution?
(And no, I do not want to make something out of wood, have already done
that and I'm not too happy about it).

I have a magnetic featherboard that's just like the Lee Valley one in
your link. It holds well enough except when it inevitably ends up
straddling the miter slot, then it's prone to slip. And the plastic
"feather" isn't doesn't have enough give, so I have to position it
pretty carefully. It's so much trouble that I only use it for cuts
that seem particularly difficult to hold. Ordinarily, I just use two
push sticks.
