Too much! Here in the US, I just bought 3 18v versions at $79 each... and guess what... it's no different from the 40v in terms of, well, anything. What's the point of more power in a speed/precision tool? If you need more power to route with a ¼" bit, you're doing something wrong, and/or dangerous. TL;DR Makita really dropped the ball on this tool.

Makita is ridiculous with this router... palm routers ate "high demand" performance tools. Power affects nothing with a precision tool like a router. The fact that there's no real difference in the 40v and 18v is absolutely ridiculous. (Especially when you incorporate the price). They could've annihilated the router industry if they tweaked the depth adjustment and gave it a ½" collet (to make its increased power have a purpose). In the end, this tool alone will eternally keep me from 40v upgrades, and from future Makita purchases. This is the kind of 💩 I'd expect from the Dewalt/Milwaukee "MoAr ToRqUe = Better tool" brands here in the US.

🤦‍♂ way to miss a point buddy.

Well I think 1/2 needs way more then 1100 watt. I have a simple corded Bosch green router and it has already 1400 watt yet it doesn't have 1/2. It seems that this Makita is a step forward but it's not impressive at all.
