Anyone using the Hitachi M12V 3 1/4hp 1/2″ plunge router? Would it be a good choice to hang under the Bosch RA1200 Router Table?

Haven't used the M12V but Tool Crib/Amazon dropped the price on it, $159.99 including the accessory kit and height adjustment knob. Free shipping, too.
I've had a Hitachi plunge router for years that won't stay locked in plunge depth unless you tighten nut on depth rod with a wrench. I got sick of it and bought a Milwaukee. The Hitachi at the tool store still had the same locking system and the salesman said it still doesn't hold well.
Smile. It could be worse. You could be me working for you.
yes i have one, only beef is the plunge mech gets stiff very quickly, but smooth powerful good controls
i use mine sometimes in a freud router table
you may have to adapt a plate to fit your table
