If the depth of the dado needs to be accurate, the table saw is a better choice. If the thickness between the bottom of the dado and the outside wall of the panel is important, the RAS would be a better choice. IOW..of making gangs of bookcases out of irregular thickness plywood (as I have for the local library system) The RAS will give a much more predictable outcome. You can accurately regulate the length of the shelves and the dado depth will vary with the thickness of the plywood.
