Pretty spot on. Unless OP has a fair amount of money to spend I'd suggest the Bosch MRC23EVSK as a solid alternative. I had / have both (had the Bosch, now have the Festool) and they're pretty comparable.
I think the Festool is a superior router; it's plunge action is silky smooth and the dust collection is top notch but you're paying a hefty premium to get those. The Bosch is more than satisfactory and I actually prefer it's trigger system to the Festool's.

I haven't used either of those two routers, but would highly recommend the Bosch MRC23
I have recently purchased my first home with my fiancée, and like all of you, have an enormous list of projects we'd like to do. I am fairly handy and am prepared to tackle any project (with supervision on electrical). All that being said, I have always used other people's tools when working on projects, so I don't have many of my own. I have a budget and would like to purchase all of my tools on Black Friday/Cyber Monday to get the best bang for my buck. I'd like your advice on which tools are the best for my budget.
We are planning on renovating the master bed, bath, and closet, kitchen, mudroom, and the laundry room. I also plan on making a kitchen table, coffee table, cabinets, dresser, etc. The first project is the laundry room and mudroom, which will require tile, built-ins, cabinets, and replacing washer/dryer. I have a tool budget of $5k-7.5k (ideally staying on the lower end) and would like your thoughts on my equipment list.
If you've used any of this below, what did you think? Are there any cheaper or better alternatives I should consider?
Last question: does anyone know where I can find plastic sawhorses that allow me to put a 2x4 across the top, but also allow the legs rotate for easy storage? My dad had these growing up and I cant find them anywhere. I have found all plastic ones, but I'd like to have the wood so I can saw through it and replace it as needed.
Thank you for your help! I look forward to keeping you updated with our projects.
