I have this model and use it often When I purchased mine there was another model without the guide and it was more money. If you do purchase a router use good bits they cost more but are cheaper in the long run. They won't break and last longer. hope this helps you. This is one of the best routers you can buy. It cost more but its worth it.

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

The big difference was price. I got it for a lot less on Amazon during a price drop

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

One model is higher easier to get on an off the machine. This is the price difference

I have the original version and cannot discern any difference between it and the new one I just received. Was hoping for some difference, otherwise I woldn't have purchased it for $19. . .

I don't believe there is any difference, I think it is a rebrand thing. Hope this helps...would never be without mine ...will use it for life.

I think this is the newer model. My sister in law recommended it and this is the one she had shown me to purchase.

The more expensive one is enhanced and the newest version . The 199.00 is the older model.

If you mean the old model is more expensive, I believe 1.) it is harder to find for sale 2.) There are a lot of notes indicating the older model may have come from a time when the quality of the units were actually better. 3.) I am going to purchase an older model because I do not need high resolution, I want quality, and I am connecting to XP.

I researched both before I purchased mine and determined that there wasn't a significant difference. I'm currently happy with this (but I guess I wouldn't know if something large enough to be damaging has occurred since I installed it). The specs and ratings looked functionally similar, however the more expensive one has a lifetime limited vs 10 year warranty and the $25k equipment coverage.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

The internals might have changed, but the performance is going to be negligible. The metal case is more compact, the ports have their usage lights integrated into the ports themselves, while the power cord is on the opposite side. The newer one is more for a compact space where you need to unplug the cords often, as the plugs face you. While the older model is the home office version, all the plugs are in the back, and the usage lights are on the front. The older model is quite wider too.
