Given that the MFS 400/700 is not available in the U.S. can anyone recommend an alternative of similar quality?

Thanks,

Oooh. If the quality is actually good... the way it locks together (mid of profile) seems better than what the MFS has (at edge of profile).

Open to just import it from Germany?
 
Didn't Woodpeckers have their own template guides?

Yeah, they call them "Variable Router Jig".

Not cheap though...
Thanks @hdv I missed that one, it looks a lot like the Festool. Definitely not inexpensive but Woodpeckers never is.
 
I just stumbled across this one from Spetool if anyone is interested. I've never heard of them.

Amazon also has it:

 
Woodcraft has one on sale during November for $99.99.

I happened to have gotten one of SpeTool's Cratos sleds from another woodworker. Haven't used it yet but I am impressed with the quality of the components.
 
If I remember correctly the Festool router template sets are rebranded Virutex ones. Maybe there is a supplier in the States that has them?

Virutex USA is in Florida.

Oooh. That looks good. But seems hard to get, even in Europe. Oh well, I already have the MFS 400... but still need to use it.

Still in doubt if I should route my own stairs for new-build home or just buy a package for self assembly..

I have both the 400 and the 700 (Festool branded). Bought them off Marktplaats (Dutch Craigs List). So I am future proof, I guess, although I would like the 100 cm rails to complete my collection…
