net is $195. I finally bit the bullet - based on advice here (thanks all), plus the apparent deal. FWIW. -- Igor

snip...Sounds like a good deal. I paid about $350 CAD for the dual base kitabout 18 months back when the northern peso was worth about $0.68 USinstead of the $0.83 it is today.

Hi Igor........Dear group,     Wow! That is a good deal. I just bought the same exact router forthe same price from Amazon last month and I only got the edge guide,which was the reason I bought it in the first place. Sears  wasselling it's Craftsman Pro grade router for $179, but it didn't comewith an edge guide. It's really the Bosch 1617 Evs in red. After doingthe math, I had to go with the Amazon deal. They alwayssay........good things come to those that wait! Well I can NEVER WAIT! If I want or need a tool..........I'm buying it. So all of you outthere needing a good router this is the time to buy from Amazon! Goodluck with yours Igor.                                                      Michael
