Default Bosch Router Table Plate Pattern

Somewhat experienced woodworker (new at router tables)...have specific question...need answer pretty quickly...Finally breaking down and buying router table...[Note, not looking for a make vs. buy decision]...

1. Own a Bosch 1617evspk router combo
2. fixed base is RA1161 (plunge is ra1166)...plan on installing ra1161 in table
3. narrowed choices down to Hartville (prime path...looks good, all t-tracks, aluminum fence, HP laminate, etc.)...second path might be Rockler (however, melamine table, through holes for fence adjustment and t-routed slot in fence (but, does have aluminum plate))...plus, Hartville now has this table for $149 (free shipping with Dust collection, cam clamps for fence, etc.)...
4. Hartville can pre-drill router plate for bosch 1615 router (no option for 1617evs router); I know Rockler can pre-drill for 1617...

Question: will a pre-drilled plate for a 1615 work for a RA1161 base (using my 1617evspk router? If not, how hard is it to drill a blank phenolic plate?

Once again, I have perused every site I can find and want to make sure before committing to the Hartville...would love to move quickly on this purchase, so anybody with insight, please write back quickly...Thanks...

I like Hartville tools stuff a lot, but on this one I think I would spend the extra bucks for the Rockler set up. I really like their plates and like you said, you don't have to worry about driling. The Rockler fences work just fine.
