Regarding the morticer I think it's better to instead make it with a fixed top and using it with dual fences on the router, referencing the long sides of the top edges. Less complicated build without moving parts, less flex in the construction, bigger hole down in the jig to see your layout lines and whats going on. Length stops can be set using layout lines rather than making a custom spacer block. Offcenter joints you can use direct layout from the tenons rather than the center of them. Also double tenons can be done in the same run having the spacer between the fence and the top plate and move it from one side to the other without even switching off the router.
