Lance, yes I've used most of them at one time or another. I designed the first microprocessor based router for Craftsman back in the early 80's. What you find with of routers is that the universal motors that each uses are a bit different in characteristics and for under $200 Hitachi seems to be the best, we'll see in a few years of use how well they hold up.
