What are the best accessories to round out the kit?

I was thinking of the following:

Fine adjustment

Edge guide

Edging plate

Would welcome more suggestions of must-haves for this router. Obviously the router comes pretty bare, but I want to spend my money in the right place. Just looking for the things that are necessary to span the most common routing applications.
 
If you ever edge MDF, ply or pre-veneered boards with hardwood, I'd strongly recommend the WA-OF angle arm, UP-OF edging plate and SF-OF chip guard. They transform a fiddly job into a quick and easy one!

First thing on my list would be the guiderail adaptor.  Then I would either take a look at what types of projects you anticipate.  The 1010 has so many add-ons.  That is what helps separate Festool from the other guys.

The guide rail adapter is standard on the 1010, luckily.  For the fine adjuster there are two types...one for the edge guide and one for the guide stop...different parts.  If you plan on banding plywood the edging accessories are awesome for that application.  Of course the LR32 for line boring operations.  If just routing, the you might want some template guides and a centering mandrel.  The extended table is nice for edge routing and adding stability to the router although I have only used the one I have for the OF2200.  Accessories really make a difference and make each tool that much more versatile.
