I have a Sailrite clone and a Chinese shoe patcher I made a flatbed for.

The Sailrite clone won't perform near as well as the shoe patcher. 

The action of the walking foot on the Sailrite clone is a pain making turns and as others have said it really makes a mess of the leather with the marks the foot leaves. I have successfully sewn upholstery leather with t70 thread but it would definitely be my last choice for leatherwork.

But first, before you can blow the bugle horn, or follow the hounds, you must be content to chase the woodpecker.

Everyone is so set on the boss I decided to try one. So far I've done several leather projects and I've sewn 112' of 4 duck canvas. The stitching looks the same as the outlaw but the pot metal sucks and the bobbin is smaller and more difficult to change out.  I like the outlaw better even if it does cost an extra days wages. Just an amateurs prospective. 

If you decide to get a boss round the edges on the stainless table, it opened me up a couple times today and once yesterday.

Have to agree with the Tippman suggestions. Have used one for a bit over 6 years, very happy with it. Currently about $500 less than the Outlaw as well.
