The two Chinese models I have questions about as something does not seem right about the way the bearings are set up on the rounds rails. As far as the MDL router, contact me off list and I will talk to you about my experience with them. Repeatability is the key point and a hard lesson to learn. I was where you are three years ago and will gladly offer any information I can to help you on your way to a wonderful learning experience and hopefully avoid some of the traps I fell into.
