Seems like they didn't correct the "What's included" tab.

They are saying that with a 5ah battery you can expect those run times. Is that what you are implying?

Not sure what you mean, I linked a different product that's the Gen5 kit. The kit includes a battery and charger, the OP posted the octane tool only. In reality, the Gen5 and octane are pretty identical, so for a little more you get LSA plus a battery which seems like a worthwhile consideration.

The battery kit one doesn't seem to mention the router guide that I'm pretty sure is included, either. It was in the kit I got earlier this year, and it's in the photographs. Yeah, the round over bit and collet wrench, too.

I have both ridgid and ryobi batteries. I can never convince myself I'll use this enough to justify the ridgid sale price over the ryobi sale price. Neither are the best on the mark and both seem to work "good enough" for general light edge cleanup.

Holding out for the ryobi around $40. That being said, if I had a DTO nearby, I'd probably be driving there right now for this one...

I have both the Ridgid corded compact router (had for 5+ years) and recently got the Ryobi One+ compact router (less than a year). I like them both, and your comment seems pretty accurate. Neither are perfect, but both are pretty darn decent (more so bringing price/value into the equation). For me, if the price difference was $30 or less i'd probably go Ridgid, stronger motor and the LSA - but i'd consider which platform you have more batteries for and put that one pretty high on the list.
