Do any of the rail and stile router bits allow for using stock greater than
7/8" in thickness?
Do any of the "reversible" single router rail and stile bits work so
conveniently that the bit elevation doesn't have to be changed when the
stacking of the cutters is reversed?
I'm looking at some rail and style projects in the near future (not entry or
passage door thicknesses) that would be happier at about 5/4" finished
thickness. I've never used any of these router bits.
Thanks.

Sorry didn't really read your post :)
Most of the rail & stile bits are matched for 3/4" stock but
all of them specify the range...

A 5/4 door is a pretty thick and heavy door.
You can do with "other bits" but not with matched sets...
