Is £200 a good price for this piece of kit. I was really holding out for a D4R? Pictures look make it look ok.

That's the old model I believe. Perfectly useable.
If you wished, it could be upgraded with new index plates and the twist knobs can be replaced with the later lever-cam locks.
I might want o knock down the price myself, if I was going to update it. Maybe £150.00. A manual is useful too, and that looks like the original!
You will need specific bushes for your make of router.

An extra router helps too, saving bit changes.
If you are really flush, a spare template fixture altogether, to save time flipping from one end of the jig to the other. That might be overkill though!

I think that it is a touch high- should be able to get a d4 for £200ish. perfectly usable though

I have decided i am going to hold out for a D4R as i dont want to pipper about with buying an upgrade kit.
