I have PC's laminate trimmer and I don't like it so much. It is loud, hard to adjust, and holds on to a bit like it's life depends on it (wipe the shanks of the bits with wax before inserting seems to help). I have heard very nice things about the Bosch Colt.
I just got one of these. It might be a bit bigger than you are looking for, but it seems to be well made, and at $79.95 or what ever it wont break the bank either, Craftsman 17541 http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/223#comment-173340
the only nit I could find is that it appears to be missing a 1/4" e-clip under the adjustment knob which caused the scale to hang up and shift . . easy fix tho
My only HF power tool is their trim router. I bought it for $20, and it's worked OK for me the few times I've used it. It has plenty of power with good visibility of your cut. When it bites the dust I will probably go with the Bosch.
I bought a Bosch Colt. Thank you for your suggestions.
