Is that a good price?

Yes!

I really like my Bosch Colt ... having owned one since they hit the
market.

The only con, IMO, is that it uses a single wrench and a push button
lock system on the shaft, to change a bit. That can be exasperating (I
often have to hold it between by knees and use both hands, one on the
button while wielding the wrench, to get the bit loose).

That said, it is the most easily controlled, comfortable to use (and
to use safely) router of the five or six I own, so the above is a
small price to pay for those big pluses ... although I do turn the air
blue on occasion when changing a bit.

Thanks, Karl. I thought I remembered your gushing about it. But after
"tommyboy" mentioned the Ridgid zrr2401, I looked that up (again), and
really liked the LED and transparent base(s). So I ordered a
reconditioned one from CPOProTools/CPORidgid. $82 delivered. I'll
report on it after I try it out.
