Cms GE vs VL help

[nerves]

Folks thank you in advance for your help and advice.

I've spent the last few weeks researching for a router table.  I'm down to the GE and the VL.  I have Limited space and very concern about air quality.

I already own a OF1400 ( and a few other festool tools), but I can't find a video of the cms VL or GE being used in a workflow.

I'm almost convinced that the VL is the right one for me as in the future the infra LS could be added but, more importantly it would fit into my MFT/3.

I've read and seen many articles, post and videos but not one demonstrating the workflow/ transition. ( going from table to router , etc)

Can anyone share their experience ( utilization) good, bad and if they would do it differently?

Most of my project are for home.  I'm a novice / hobbyist.  I only foresee traveling with my festool just to help a friend or family once a year tops.  I do break down / store my shop /tools/ setup after projects.

Again thank you

Perhaps you can share your workflow and we can point out road blocks.

For me, I did have to change my workflow a bit to use my setup, but I am also just a hobbiest so time isn't of the essence in most cases. I had thought about buying another VL to put on the other end of the table to house a saw and the other for the router and then "share my Incra fence, but alas, it never took shape. Mainly due to funds over returns kind of things. I have made cabinets, doors, drawers, raised panels and many other things with my setup but have never captured my workflow. It is just 2nd nature a bit for me.

Again, maybe point me to a project and i can try and type out what I might do in that situation.

Cheers. Bryan.
