Yes I looked as well Bob.
The cheaper Xact model you linked is no good though as it's made for fixed base routers and would need modification for my DeWalt 625, not something I wanted to do if spending £170 on it.
I also looked at and handled the UKJ model at Axminster, http://www.axminster.co.uk/ujk-technology-router-elevator-502701 and it has a nice action but reviews said the chain drive sticks regularly and at £265 it just isn't cheap enough so the decision was make one or spend £80 and wait. I'd got over £200 for some carving chisels and compass plane, I sold at Harrogate so spent some of it on what I think will be a decent system. I'm not happy with the plastic insert plate in the table so trying to decide whether to bite the bullet and buy the Incra magnalock which looks superb or have a go with some phenolic resin myself.

Ah did not realize these will not fit the Dewalt Bob sorry. I have ordered some bits for my extractor system hope they will be in at my local trader tomorrow and will have a look at the trend lift and table to see if it will accommodate my Dewalt otherwise its back to the scissor jack and designing a cradle for the router
