If it's overheating your regular 20v batteries, then it's being used improperly, or there is an internal tool issue.
The "cooling aspect" of a Flexvolt is no different from an XR battery, from what I've seen. Also, these are already top heavy with a battery... adding a 6ah flexvolt would make it worse.
Basically, these are designed as trim routers... they're not designed for long periods of use, or heavy bits.
So saying a flexvolt will prevent a 20v tool from heating up the battery is a funny little wives tale... and also a bit dangerous as the added weight can create a bad scenario if the bit kicks on ya and launches the router.

Following examples are not necessarily $100 but either close or with the accompanying tool or battery combination the cost would be less then.

In closing as I said before a good deal on this tool would be about $100 or very close to it.
