You've certainly built a router table that will last for a thousand years! There really is no need for such a hefty construction. At one time I had a Makita 3600 under my table then replaced it with a 3612C variable speed one followed by the present Triton. as shown in the two shots, I made a very simple easy to use foot operated lift.
The tall fence is very useful. Welcome to the forum.

In my opinion the Triton TRA001 was designed for table use where it really does excel in every way. However, when hand held it's very clumsy and awkward to use compared to the Makitas .
By the way, you did remove the springs from your router didn't you?
