I was just remembering you are primarily a furniture maker. If it was me--I would buy the multi-router before adding a mortiser to the jointer. I use my multi-router all the time--the speed and accuracy can't be beat. I only want the SCMI mortiser for longer tenons than I can do with a router bit. My experience has been with the Laguna Platinum mortiser and the Laguna LBM 200. The Platinum looks like a knock-off of the SCMI/MM design but more cheaply made.
