Having a machine with more rigidity and low backlash lets you make more precise cuts and aggressive cuts, so we can make better parts faster. Our preliminary testing shows that the machine is capable of holding tolerances needed for making FRC gearboxes directly on the machine without having to do any post machining like reaming the holes.
I don't know enough about other routers to say how this compares to something you could buy. We like nice things, and for us it was worth it to trade off time and effort to get a result that better fit our goals with the budget we had.
