Well I can answer what I like.
I have one that is near 4 years old, still stick flat.
I love a pivoting fence. Since many of the bits I use have bearings I find the pivoting fence is the fastest way to line up a fence for me.
It's solid phenolic and hard as a rock, try drilling into it you will see what I mean. I had to drill a hole to accommodate the large Milwaukee model for top of the table adjustments.
The table inserts stay put and pop in and out with no tool, I like that.
I love that I can use a fence insert that I custom make to the bit profile for a truly zero clearance fence.
Its thin and not 2" thick I find that simpler for certain attachments I use.
I do not care for the fence that much when having to attach both sides to the table. If that is going to be your main use and not in a pivoting fence orientation maybe this table is not for you.
I paid full price for two of them years ago(fence and table). At 299.99 for everything including the cabinet it is a no brainer. If I did not have 6 router tables(including the two in my table saw set up) already I would not hesitate to buy another. Actually, I have it in my to buy box at amazon, I just can not pull the trigger. Business is slow and I have other things I need first, but it is a great deal.
