I think it would have been a gloat, but you walked out with the wrong
router IMHO!

Here is a good review of yours:

I would have gone with a PC plunge router!


I've developed a healthy aversion to Porter-Cable products since I got
suckered into springing for the original cordless finish nailer- The
BAMMER! What an unequivical POS and absolute waste of $300 (IIRC).

Dave, the Bammer was indeed a stinker however you should not associate the
other PC tools to the Bammer for an accurate compairison of quality.
The "recent years " PC routers have earned a lack luster reputation all by
them selves and most PC tools are not what they used to be 20 years ago.




And now that you've wounded my pride (Oh, death! Where is thy sting?),
just what is it about the PC that makes you pick it over the Triton (or
your next runner-up)? Does the PC have a 12-foot power cord? I haven't
even plugged it in yet so I can return it.

The On-line Tool Review to which you refer concludes thusly:
Conclusion:
As I stated in the review, just about every feature of the new MOF001KC is
an upgrade from the previous model. Size, weight and the ergonomics of
the controls feel good. Dust collection is outstanding. The above table
bit change and height adjustments work great as do the adjustments when
using the router hand held. The included baseplate, fence and guide
bushings just add to the value. I'd really like to see the power cord
lengthened to about 12 feet and the soft start electronics tweaked to
reduce the startup torque. All and all the Triton MOF001KC seems to be a
well thought out next generation of the original innovative Triton design
and should serve you well as both a hand held and table mounted router.

I have had the bigger Triton router hanging upside down for about 2 or 4
years now and if the reliability is still the same you have nothing to worry
about. Mine retired a Bosch that had been hanging since 1988. I did not go
blindly when choosing a replacement for a still working Bosch. I wanted a
router that could be easily adjusted accurately and have above the table
bit changes.
The Triton has become a very popular brand router these days.
