Default Precision Router Lift versus Quick Lift

The QucikLift says it all. The ability to disengage the lift mechanism to
allow the router to be moved up/down without cranking and then engage the
lift mechanism for precision height adjustment.

I have the unilift. I would have bought the PRL if I had not needed an
adapter for my router. I have not found cranking to be an issue. I do like
the accuracy of this and competitive lift products. I now see some router
manufacturers are designing certain routers for table mounting to enable
similar accuracy of height adjustment while in the table.

The Unilift and PRL have posts on either side of the router. The QuickLift
seems to have the two posts on one side. I am not sure if this will result
in any deflection.

The one drawback of the Unilift is that I cannot get the router as high as I
need for certain cuts.

Abybody know hat the differences are between the Woodpeckers' Precision
Router Lift (PRL) and their Quick Lifts? Looks like the PRK is beefier
and probably a little more acurate.....
