I'll vouch for Jessem lifts. I've had the Mast-R-Lift II for several years and it works great. I've never used the Rout-R-Lift II but I'd expect the same quality.

Well I'll vouch for the Sam's Club workbench then. That thing is a beast.
The specs must be wrong though. They say it weighs 126 lbs. Felt more like 226 lbs.

When changing bits, this gets tedious, and I have never had a situation where I needed to made an adjustment so exact that I was thankful for the extra precision.
I make frequent use of the fine adjustment, as I make my parts to fit, not by exact dimensions. Often a slight adjustment is exactly what I need.
