They sold out of the original version and are supposedly coming out with a newly engineered one.

Hmmm. With the suspecting nature I have, I sometimes interpret "coming out with a newly engineered one" as meaning that the original one had a problem ...

IIRC, the multi-router runs in the neighborhood of US$2.5K.

About the same as a fully loaded laptop ... and it will last a lot longer, should you need any justification. ;>)

That's quite possible. I also suspect the show was an old one.

I am not convinced that the idea of bringing the mountain (router) to Mohammed (workpiece), so to speak, is worth whatever the price is.

You can get at least some of the same functionality on a router table with two guide fences and a sled captured between them, allowing you to move the work piece to the stationary router.

Still, if the price is right ....
