Default Router lift vs. router with built-in "above the table" height adjustment

I have the Milwaulkee 2.25 hp in a hoime-made table. I bought it
specifically for the above the tabel adjust. The hole for the wrench
(supplied) has a rubber cover that prevents (supposedly) dust from
getting in. I drilled a hole in the plate i made, and it worked ok.
After a little while i found that the under the table adjust was so
easy to use, that I use it exclusively now.

My other router is a dewalt 621 - nice router, but a PAIN under the
table. The Milwaulkee is a very nice router as well. The handles come
off for table use, and it has a left/right hand strap for use like a
orbital sander! - haven't tried it - the router went right in the table

It's also pretty quiet, and the controls are easy to use without seeing
them All in all, I'm very happy with it.

I'd like tro take this opportunity to thank the members of this group.
I've read it for a few months now, and I've learned a lot. When it came
time to buy stuff, the advice posted here was the best .

thanks again, and I hope I can make a worthwhile contirbution or 2
