I bought 4 x 50" and 4 x 24" Stekol clamps from david_bidding on ebay australia (they are the same as the Jet ones sold in the US). He is based in southern NSW, but he has a number of places around sydney where you can pick them up free of charge if you are nearby or I think he can ship them as he also shipped me a dust collection cyclone.
I had been using cheap square aluminum pipe type clamps from carbatec and steel ones from mitre 10 and I have to say the difference with parallel clamps is great. They keep the piece properly and firmly aligned, they have big non-marking surfaces, quick release levers and easy to tighten handles. If you want to see how useful they are, just see how the american guys love them.
Service was great too, I had a problem with a couple of the 50" clamps, the fixed end on three of them was out of perpendicular by about a degree or so. David responded straight away and offered a swap or return and refund if I wasn't happy. I swapped the clamps and now I'm very happy with my purchase. Getting this kind of service off ebay is nice to see.
If you haven't used parallel clamps, I would recommend considering them. Next stop, frontline clamps for panels I guess :)
