Another router and table?

Anyone consider an OF 2000 table-mounted? How well does that work?

I was looking at this thread and seems that there may be some around for $344. What do you think? Is that the way to go or perhaps the Milwaukee 3 1/2 HP?

Some of you guys just listed your router and table combo but didn't explain why you went that way? Price? Certain features? or ??

What is a router table? it's just the engine! All gadgets are not needed here! cope with this lift. INCRA stress can be tuned instantly!
but I think when you try to INCRA, you understand me ..

Not really, well if the CMS was available in NA I would think about it but I am not sure that is the best use of a festool router.

It depends. If you are planning to take your router out of the table regularly and use it "on site" it might be a good solution.
For me I didn't/don't want to take my router out of the table every time I need a work-site router so buying the Milwaukee was a better decision.
I also liked the Jessem setup because the dust collection is very good. I have two hoses connected to a Vacuum via the the Y connector and it collects 95% of the dust and chips created by the router.
My original intent was to buy a shaper but I couldn't accommodate one (power and space) so I looked for the next best compromise.
