If you use the IBEX, use it to place the frets and the bridge, and all will be fine. If you use it for one or the other, and use a different fret placement method, or a different compensation, you'll be off. It is a perfectly good rule, and intonation on my guitars that I used it on has been very good. I now use efret and compensate about 1mm to the front of the saddle, and use a double compensated saddle, a la David LaPlante.
