re: Prioritizing power tools for a home woodworking shop

My track saw is my favorite tool. Have built cabinet boxes without touching the table saw.
I'd prioritize a planer jointer combo. It's cheaper and more space saving to just bite the bullet and get a 12" combo. Game changer for materials you can use.
I'd look into building your own router station in the assembly/outfeed table using a high quality router lift. Also a game changer for me.
If this setup is not going to change, prioritize dust collection. It is too easy to do and makes the shop experience so much more enjoyable.

Thanks for all the responses everyone
I was planning on doing the router lift in my miter station to make double use of the fence. But I’m wondering if I’ll need more room for the router station as the miter station will be against the wall and the outfeed/assembly table will be in the middle of the space. Here is a mock-up of what I’m thinking. It’s missing a lot as I have a lot of the components in sketch up hidden so I can see the construction better.
L shaped table is Outfeed/assembly/table saw(yellow square)
Miter station on left. Another assembly/finishing table towards the top. Dust collection in corner.
