The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: Router table/cabinet
Sorry that I have not gotten back to this sooner, cold till today, and moms hearing aid yesterday afternoon.
So the MLCS table and fence is larger, 6" high compared to 3 for the Rockler; MLCS is 2" longer, and the face of it has an Aluminum T track on the face, Rocklers just has a T machined into the face into the MDF type material.
On the back side of the fence that attaches to the angle Aluminum again the MLCS has Aluminum T track, where Rockler is just a machined T slot into the fence material, like on the fence face.
The angle aluminum on MLSC is 3 3/4" the Rockler is 1 1/2". Same thickness, 1/4" Aluminum.
The table; they are the same width and length, but the MLCS is a 1/4" thicker, I dont know if that makes a big difference being a Mdf product, if supported well. The MLCS has 2 Aluminum T tracks for the T bolts for the leg of the Angle Aluminum fence, the Rockler just has 2 slots cut into the table for the T bolts.
Dust collection,the MLSC as seen in the pics, comes with large shop vac hose connection and a 2 1/2" adapter, Rockler does not.
The Router base plate on the MLSC is 9x12". Rocklers is 8x11", I dont know what the advantage is, if any. Both plates are 1/4" Aluminum, that I have and payed extra for from MLCS, for a few $ less, you can get the plastic on both.
Now for some pics, but that is a 3 step process for me with my camera and computer. Note the Aluminum T track on the MLCS fence and table, compared to the Rockler machined T slots in the MDF.
