I would like to hear what Festool owners think of their
routers 1010, and 1400 and accessories. I’am still learning
how to use mine. Also, I love the plunge saw with the mft.

I am very happy with my 1400 and plunge saw. I couldn't believe I could route without dust. Check in with the Festool owners group on Yahoo if you haven't already.
The dustless factor is real impressive. The first Festool I purchased was
the little 150 sander and the medium dust collector at a package price.
You're right the whole system is virtualy dust and shaving free. The 1010
router with the hole accessory kit really does the job once you figure it out.
I don't have their router, but I do own their TS 55 saw, Rotex 150 sander, and CT 33 dust vac. I am extremely pleased with my purchasing decisions.

If you were amazed with the sander wait till you run either the 1010 or 1400
router with the ct 33. You'll love it!
I like Festool because the products deliver what they promise. That's unfortunately rare. There are occasional gripes and snipes from Festool owners, but it is rare to find someone who owns the tools and doesn't think very highly of them.
I have the ATF 55 saw, MFT, 2000 and just got the 1400 routers, jigsaw, 12" tdk and 6" ROS (150/3).
I dont think there's a bad tool in the bunch!
