Spin indexer vs. dividing head

I think both of these basically allow a person to incrementally rotate a workpiece on horizontal axis.
Is a spin indexer for smaller work?

Yeah ... I bought a dividing head with a tail stock and series of plates a few months back. I use it primarily on the mill for drilling ports in muzzle breaks. I think now that a spin index unit might have been a more cost effective choice.

I just sprang for a Phase 2 rotary table from Travers. I have some moto parts that are going to demand the ability to cut radii.
