Does anyone have any experience with these? Most important for me is dust collection and I want to know how these hold up. The new team I'm on wants to snag a couple for our shop, which I think might be a good investment but right off the bat we'll be routering mdf. I've been eyeing a 2200 for a long while and will more than likely grab one within the next week or so. Would be great to have at least one in the shop for super dusty heavy routing jobs like this and use the tritons when it's not quite as deadly. Just wanted to consult the masses knowledge.

I have one, the TRA-001 if I recall correctly. I use it in a router table. In my opinion it's perfect/excellent for that purpose, not so much for hand held operation. Dust collection isn't the greatest and it's also not very ergonomic because it's pretty top heavy. Only 27mm hose fits.
It is however very powerful and goes through pretty much anything I throw at it like butter.
I got it soley for use in a router table and for that purpose it's probably the best router on the market. Espcially for the price, it can't be beat.

Ya that's what I was getting from reading up on it. Kinda a panic over here as we're frantically putting a shop/kit together as we're on a show. I'm still thinking the 2200 will be worth the dosh in the long run and eventually a second.

Ghostfister, you already know the answer. Buy one of the NOS of2000's that keep showing up on ebay for $400. And also buy the of2200.

Already got a 2200. It's interesting now that my pilots issue over and I'm working in someone else's shop now how messy their place is. Dust control matters

I'd say I love it quite a bit. It is a large heavy router, but has unmatched DC really simple and accurate adjustments and the HP I need for those crazy jobs. In my field it's perfect.
