On the Hostile Homestead, we raise rabbits for meat and Quail for meat and eggs. We have found the jumbo Coturnix is the best to accomplish the dual purpose. Here is a quick video of all of the equipment and cages that we use in the Jumbo Quail Operation.
This is the latest and greatest version of the cabinet incubator I use for the Jumbo Quail Operation.

Now, the standard quail egg racks are not the right size for jumbo eggs, you need the larger-holed racks meant for larger birds.

The 1502 Incubator is great, its only downside is the small humidity tray it comes with. I recommend this automatic humidity setup to maintain the proper humidity for longer incubation stretches.
