Height adjustment on new PC routers

Hello all! I haven’t posted in a while but I’m still around. Does anyone have an opinion on the PC 890 series of routers vs. the 8529. They both can be height adjusted while in a router table but the literature I can find says the 890 series can unlock the plunge portion and adjust the height all from above the table. The 8529 says the height can be adjusted from above but it does not say the plunge lock can be unlocked from above. Can anyone help clear this up.
Thanks and happy woodworking.

I have my 8529 in my table & leave the plunge lock in the position to use the height adjuster. No need to have plunge in the table. If & when I take it out of the table, I just move the lever back to the plunge lock position. You could also try downloading the operator manuals from their website.
Thanks for the reply. I think the locked and unlocked plunge lever is what threw me. Sounds like you can adjust the height from the top without messing with the plunge lever.If you need a tool and don't buy it, you will soon find you have paid for the tool but don't have it - Henry Ford
