Wow. That's great news.  Congratulations.

  Congratulations on the new mill, Bruno. 8) Even if it's not there for the project weekend, I will come over to see it as soon as it's there. Maybe even help you run it for a day. :)

Simple Set is like it says, pretty simple😊 If it works like my old "Setworks" on my 97 Super (which I'm pretty sure it does) it measures down from the current saw setting. Mine has 4 presets. So say preset 1 is for 4/4. Your head is at 10", you hit preset 1, and then tap the lever to lower the head. The head will automatically drop down to 8 7/8" (because you preprogrammed your kerf😊). Saw through, raise the head to clear the cant and gig back. Now you just tap down again. It will automatically drop from 8 7/8" down another 1 1/8" to 6 3/4". It's handy, and saved me time in two ways. First, when you're making opening cuts, not having to do any math in your head to drop down and get a certain board thickness by simply pressing a button. Also, on my Super the head up/down is really fast. Too fast when you are trying to hit a target manually! With the setworks, while you're gigging back, as soon as you clear the cant you just tap the down control and the head drops to the next cut before you've even got the head stopped and ready to go forward. Whereas, doing it manually I land on the target about 1 time out of 10🙄 The shortcoming of the Setworks program was it doesn't measure relative to the bed, only to the head position where it was activated. So when sawing a cant to the bed, if you don't start at the right thickness, you end up with a thick or thin board on the bottom. I hope my complicated description of Simple Set didn't ruin it for anyone😁
Too many irons in the fire

I may stand corrected but I do not believe that SimpleSet allows for kerf.  SetWorks does.

I think you are correct.  At least that is what Dave in NH told me at Bruno's sawing party last year.

Then can you program each width 1/8" more to get what you want?  Like 1&3/8 to get 5/4.

Simple set you hav to add an 1/8th to you measurement for Kerf.
6/4 equals 1 5/8" on the simple set system,

Keep a pad of paper, a pencil and a calculator handy.
I hope you are good at math.
You might want to make some cheat sheets and get them laminated for reference.
