First post. I have the MLCS router. My comments are:
1) Springs are (very) strong and plunge is not smooth,
2) heavy, awkward and difficult to control when using freehand,
3) not too hard to change bits once you get the hang of it (haven't tried 1/4"),
4) very difficult to adjust height - micro-adjustment is difficult to use, if it works at all,
5) works well mounted in table as long as you don't have to adjust height,
6) power and slow start feature are good.
Would not recommend buying this router.
