Well, it seemed like a good deal to me, so I got it. While the P-C router is touted as "the workhorse of the industry", I was somewhat disappointed in the two wrench collet loosening sheme, and the height adjustment leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it should serve for what I want to do (I think). Having got it, I probably would not recommend it to others (above reasons) plus the angle iron stand, while strong and certainly adequate, does not assemble according to what I want.

I'm more of a Woodpeckers fan. After alot of thought, I bought the Woodpeckers aluminum plate, ring set, template, Whiteside template router bit, Freud fence, and a Porter-Cable 890 router. I plan on makeing my own table.
