I built my 2006 R2 about 8 years ago now ... I have not regretted 1 min of it. I have made over 400 Arrow of light plaques and countless other projects as well as cut out parts for others to build CNC machines. I do have a question about adjusting the tip of the router I can true the router to the table but it appears to be slightly tiopped (noticable with larger bits) making a serving bowl with a bowl bit you can tell that the bit isnt 90 degrees to the table.
