    Unless you just need to set up a router one time with a round over or fixed position bit, you couldn't pay me to use this router. The compact DeWalt is a much better setup. The only redeeming factor for the Bosch is the availability of different specialty bases

    Amazingly efficient motor here, to deliver 1hp at 5.6A and 120Vac!
    Such as would be only possible with a power factor greater than 1.

    I heard the Makita was also one of the best option for palm routers. But that and the DeWalt is twice as much. Bosh makes some of the best full size routers so I would think this would be perfect for someone on a tight budget.

    I wouldn't call that a fair comparison. This is the lighter 1hp trim and laminate router. Bosch has a 1.25hp version that goes head to head with the Dewalt. Look up GKF125CEN. I have one and they are great. The Dewalt is great too.

    That being said if you are in the market for a small lightweight trim router for quick roundovers/chamfers or veneer trimming etc I would grab whichever is on your battery platform rather than these corded models. For that kind of work dealing with a cord can be infuriating.

    Any reason to not spend the extra $15 and get a 1617EVSPK over the MRP23EVS?

    I've owned 3, they...suck. The height adjustment is terrible, the base doesn't necessarily lock down square, the arbor lock strips out, etc. The makita is very smooth, I will give it that. However, some genius at makita decided to make the plunge lock backwards from every other plunge base ever created, and it's pretty stupid.

    For a long time it was the only comparison. I haven't used the Bosch 1.25HP version, but I wasn't really comparing the power when saying the Colt sucks. I will say the Dewalts are not particularly smooth running.

    This will come down to how you will be using it. I don't own the MRP23 but I do have the 1617. The MRP23 is more powerful with a 15 amp motor and I really like the power switches on the grips however it is a bit heavier as well. The 1617 is compatible with my jessem lift in my table (I dont think the MRP23 is as its not listed as supported via their site). For the majority of hand work that can't go on my table I use my metabo 18v router and the remaining situations I take the 1617 motor out. Im considering purchasing the MRP23 for the hand work so I don't have to keep swapping out the 1617 from my lift and I want the extra heft and power for those specific scenarios.

    I guess it comes down to a) will this be your only router and b) will it need to fit in a lift. If the answer is yes to both definitely go with the 1617. If you have a smaller 1.25hp trim router and you wont need lift compatibility then consider the MRP23

    Hope this helps.
