I have to disagree with BJ about the Bosch guides. They are intended for heavy duty construction use and they perform just fine. Home woodworkers are not nearly as likely to damage a guide bushing since there is little travel and transportation damage. The PC adaptor works like a champ with it's quick release. A good thing to consider before purchase of a sub base plate is if you want to use the larger Router Workshop style guide bushings. They allow for more combinations than the PC style. People on a tight budget may not want to invest in two sets of guide bushings. There is always the option of getting the more common (and less expensive) PC style and adding only the larger Router Workshop style so there is no duplication. Another HF item worth serious consideration is their version of the Rousseau mounting plate. At a price of $20 it can not be beat. This allows the use of the Rousseau mounting template and centering kits for super fast and accurate installations.

Remember there is no wrong choice in your routing set up. Go with which ever one feels best to you.
