Jim, You dumped the most popular router plate on earth for no reason. Rousseau does have a slightly convex surface and it does not effect the end product at all. Norm used a Rousseau plate for 10 years on the NYW problem free. I can speak from experience and tell you I have been happy with mine and ones I have installed for others. Mind you this is the only plate of this style. Many brands have copied the design as far as size and the removeable rings but they are flat.(Or at least they should be) Wood Magazine proved in a comparison test that both Rousseau and the flat plates got the same results. Both methods work, and if it makes you scratch your head and wonder then you are like me. Some manufacturers suggest that their plates be a couple thousandths proud of the table top to ensure a good cut. The only time you get into trouble is when your plate is low which causes your cuts to be shallow, or if a flat plate is warped or sags.
