Default D-handle for PC 690LR?

I'm thinking about purchasing a D-handle for my Porter Cable 690LR router. Currently, I only have a fixed base. So 2 questions:

1. How do you deal with the long cord on the router when using the D-handle base?

2. Can I find a cheaper, used D-handle someplace? I've only seen these for about $100 or so new. Seems like a lot to spend on a base I'll only use occasionally.

Base are cheaper if you don't buy them from PC, have you done some seaches at places like amazon.com or international tool? It is still going to cost you but I really like the one I have for my 690's...... Norm loves them too.
