Glad u like it, i love mine too. Heres a few things i wish i knew before i started buying accessories.
The edge guide has no dust collection. You can buy a chip catcher seperately but the hose still hooks up to the router. The edge guide is only meant to go in one way, and it forces the hose into the worst possible spot while routing, and doesnt work very well.
Edge guide also comes with no fine adjustment. Its sold seperately and is NOT the same as the fine adjuster for the guide stop, which is yet another seperate accessory.
The regular chip catcher and other baseplates require a t15 to swap out so youll wanna keep one on board.
You can fit all this crap and the round router bit set into the sys3 quite easily which is great.
The guide stop can be attached and used as a sort of base extension even when off the rail for freehanding or awkward operations.
Speaking of awkward... using the guide stop works well, but is awkward and made me want a 3rd hand. Theres a knob on the guide stop, the router handle, and the plunge knob... choose wisely lol
Despite the horribly stupid accessories, its a great router for my uses!

I always found micro adjust overrated. I watched the parfitt video. the 1010 seems good to me, just handles and feels good in hand. I like my dewalt dw615's but talk about hard to find accessories and dust collection forget about it. The number of routers one needs is always plus 1. I have seven. I am always looking for job that requires the 2200.
Routers are weird like that. I have 4 and still want several others.
And yeah, the 1010 handles great. At work ive always used a bosch colt for almost everything. Most of the time its simple coves or chamfers on edges so i hold a long workpiece with one hand and route with the other. Thats why trim routers are great in a jobsite go fast environment. The plunge router only came out on occaision.
The 1010 is totally unique in that i can use it for both jobs (since i rarely need 1/2" at work). Its heavier than a colt, using it one handed does tire me out eventually. But its still comfortable for a good while and can do so much more, ntm dust collection.
Then at home it excels at many finer woodworking tasks with the stupidly designed but still effective range of accessories. If i were a full time furniture maker id probably justve got the 1400, but for a multi-talented light duty router the 1010 is perfect.
