nice design for the doors how long did each door take to cut and did you have tool changes or did you cut it all with one bit?

It took 3 1/2 hours per door at a depth of .25 the edge route I did myself, so just one bit 1/6 carving.
I-just-asked-(sorry-space-button-is-broke)-is-there-a-way-to-rough-out-with-a-1/4"-bit-and-then-go-back-and-finish-pass-details-so-it-takes-less-time-as-well-as-wear-and-tear-on-the-router?

Nope, the machine has no provision for a roughing pass. As it carves all the reliefs in raster mode I'm not sure there would be an advantage to it.
So-if-you-are-cutting-with-a-.062tho-bit-at-a-depth-of.750-it-cuts-in-one-pass?

Yes Gary, the 1/16th carving bit has a 3/4" length of cut, it makes one pass across the board and drives up and down depending on the pattern, once done it then moves the X axis (sandpaper belts) and makes it's next pass. It keeps doing this until the pattern is complete.
Good Luck with your purchase.
