Default Incra Ultra router fence question

I bought the Twin Linear even though the unit on display at last year's
WW show in San Mateo, CA exhibited some looseness when locked down. The
salesman explained that he had removed a shim from the lock lever to
facilitate demos. When I got mine it is solid as a rock, just like he
promised. I've never had the fence move during routing operations.

Hello,
I've been thinking more about making my own router table lately and
given time constraints, I've considered buying the fence versus building
one (I'd rather make projects than tools).
group archives seem to smile kindly on the Incra Ultra fence with most saying
the 16" would be plenty for most uses.

I mainly want a fence just for straight line routing, but the jig feature
would come in handy when I expand my comfort zone.

The one concern I have is "how sturdy is this thing?"

It looks like the fence is only supported by the extension mechanics and
I can imagine a bit of wobble unless the fence ends are somehow clamped to
the table sides. Is this an issue?
If I had the time to spare I'd try to build the Pat Warner fence, but the
Incra woudl fit right in on the holiday wish list.

Any comments +/- from the gallery as to the stability of the Incra
design?

Best deal with a limited search turns up woodpeckers at $195 (whom I have
delt with in the past, great store!)



Thanks a bunch!
