Trying to decide between the JessEm Ultimate Excel II Package Ultimate Excel II Package * CURRENTLY BACK-ORDERED * - JessEm Tool Company and Rockler Phenolic Router table with ProMax Fence, Basic Stand, etc Rockler Phenolic Router Table with ProMax Fence, Basic Stand, Dust Bucket Kit and Pro Lift - Rockler packages. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks

The Jessem lift is superior. Even better is the incra Jessem lift with vented plates to pull dust down at the bit. I wouldn't put much value in the opinions that recommend based on their judgement of whether something is overpriced. I owned a triton router for years. Then I upgraded to Milwaukee router motor, Incra Jessem lift, and sawstop cast iron router extension wing. I adapted the rockler dust box. The whole setup is a level of accuracy, repeatability, and smoothness that is superior to a homemade table with triton router.
