Does anyone have info or feedback on Virutex FR129M door hinge router kits?

I have a project coming up to install 80 maple veneer solid core doors in a commercial office.
Doors & jambs were previously installed on this job, however the painters got it all wrong when finishing the doors...long story short..I have 80 pre finished solid blanks I need to mortise for triple hinges...240 machining's  :o

Hand chisel wont work, under the veneer the spine looks like OSB, I cant make a clean notch & it takes too long.
I know I could use my trusty OF with a jig & bushing...but I kinda have a hankering for a machine  ;D
I kinda wish Festool made a rig like this for the new MFK  :-[

So the question is..would a Virutex hold up to to the scrutiny of a certified Festooligan?  ???
What say ye mob.... :D

The Model FR29M  is discontinued. I think it would be wise to wait for the upgraded version or call and see if you can get a new model now.

I sure like the idea of cutting without a template. I have never used any of their tools but they sure look capable. I would give it t try.

FR29M go to the bottom of this page after clicking
 
The one I was looking at is the FR129M, possibly the new model? The only video I can find is in Spanish language.

And as a Festoolian...I noticed right away the lack of any provisions for dust collection....  :-\
