If faced with the decision of $800 for a router table + $300 for a suitable
router, I would just buy the very thing router are by design to be, an
inexpensive shaper.

I was checking it out last weekend at my local woodcraft. It is sweet !!
They had just got one in and was setting up. One thing I noticed was the
micro dial is a little stiff to rotate. It is very expensive with a table
and a set of legs. I would also consider looking at the woodpecker
http://www.woodpeck.com/unilift.html I almost pulled the trigger on this
one.

However, when I saw the Jessem I had second thoughts. I was quoted in the
neighborhood of $800 for the lift,table, and stand. Wait, Wait what this .
Woodcraft has it on sales for $737. Shoot. now with a 10% off with a class
discount I can knock another $73 off.
