I've been putting my router through it's paces and found out the hard way how much dust and chips it ejects without a dust extractor (i.e. everywhere and all over the place). I then have begun looking at the Festool dust extractors CTL 26/36/44/MIDI and haven't been able to decide which one would be suitable for home hobbyist dust extraction. I quite like the idea of automatic start/stop of the hoover when the router is triggered. Will any model support multiple machines at a time or does one need to constantly swap the hose and electric plug say between the mitre saw and the router? What I've managed to find out of their differences seems to be the size of the dust bag and some physical size differences.
Are there any best practices like advice you could give me on choosing the most suitable one for home use?
