I have an old Jessem first generation router lift. Was nice
at the time but it has too many faults (no above table bit changes
without a collet extension, will sink a little with vibration, the
plate is about twice as big as new ones and it places the bit too far
from the miter slot, etc.)

My Benchdog has been perfect. For bit changes, I use my drill to run it
up/down quickly and use the hand wrench to make adjustments as fine as you
could ever want.
