I use it on top of virtually every job. I have a 5'x10' flip-top table, and have a 4'x8' piece of evacunet that goes on just before I close the top. I use the 4'x8' piece regardless of the size of the project being pressed. It allows the vacuum to reach the entire top surface. This allows the ever-important uniform pressure to be applied over the entire surface.
In my opinion, it is not a replacement for a top caul. Although, when laminating a couple of 3/4" thick panels together, I have successfully skipped the top caul and only used the evacunet. However, I would always use a caul for standard veneer work.
Evacunet also prevents sharp corners on the top caul from poking holes in the poly bag. This is handy if I have forgotten to round over one or more sharp corners.
