Waited for it.
I bought this item because my Makita 3.25hp monster loves to stay in the router table plus it's huge. I wanted a mid sized router and my current work project, flattening a 10'x 4" slab wanted this router to do the job. I also really like the wood hand hold knobs.
Have only used it a bit, the slab flattening will actually happen next week. But, so far I really like the soft start feature. The plunge locking mechanism seems superb and durable, easy to work.
I am sure this tool will serve me well in the years ahead.

Great By Design
I chose this router package because of the modular design and available accessories. I needed to use a 1/2" variable speed router and have more power than what I had been using. If you have only one purpose, you can get the best router for what you need. Likewise, if you only have a couple of specific needs you can get two dedicated routers, each for the dedicated need. Other than that, you will find that this setup offers a lot of options for what you need, and what you may need in the future. I needed it to work with a Porter-Cable dovetail jig (using the Bosch ra1129 adapter), then switch over to do under table work using 1/2" shank joinery bits. It fits under both my Craftsman table (without the adjustment key hole) and a table that I have with the Bosh table adapter plate. The beauty here is that this package scales up well, inside and outside the Bosch product line.
I am not happy with the fact that the centering pin is not part of the router or this router package. It is a somewhat necessary overpriced addition otherwise. Remember this package was made for swapping the router in and out of bases, not necessarily bases in and out of tables. You may dedicate an optional Bosch ra1065 under table mount to an existing router table to avoid frequent base to table setups. You might wonder if this is overkill to a modular system that you paid for two bases already to resolve the problems, when in fact you needed three separate bases to get what you want. Evaluate the cost that the 1617evs brushes here are to be examined every two to six months, and the bearings are to be professionally replaced every 300-400 hour of operation.
Getting two dedicated, and possibly different types of routers is a tradeoff to this package. You may find that it is a bit heavy to do lighter profiling work, and a little light to do heavy single pass cuts. But there are a vast range of use cases that it excels at between these two extremes.
What you may find out is that you'll like it so much that you'll take on new projects that you wouldn't have taken on without it.

Very nice design!
I bought this about 3 weeks ago, I used it the other day and absolutely love this router!! Soft start, powerful and the power switch and speed control are easy to reach and control. Quality is very good, very solid, mostly metal construction. The the quick depth settings are easy and the fine depth control is excellent. The price was the best I could find at the time of purchase.
