For what I do, my routers are all set at the same depth, and in my router table. Been using them like that for over 15 years.
Yes, buy a new one, and send me that one. Hehehe
I'd keep it. I don't like router lifts, I just pop the plate off, change bits, or whatever, and pop the plate back in. Make a simple, dedicated table, and stick it in that. If you want/need adjustment, I'd say buy another, you can't go wrong with an extra router or two.
