Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MervynWh. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about router table compatibility.
The Ozito router table is designed to work with Ozito routers. Routing mounting holes can be similar between different brands, but in some instances, a universal mounting plate can be required. If you want to switch to the Makita, I would recommend you see one of our helpful Toolshop team members, who will be able to verify the mounting compatibility on the display models in-store.
Further to your question, can I ask what the difficulty was with changing bits, as switching models might not rectify this? Perhaps our helpful members can assist with some tips on replacing bits that might make it easier.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mitchell the issue with the router is that once it has been installed into the router table…basically regardless of the table brand the router access is extremely difficult (unless you have 3 hands.) You need on hand to hold the release button than another to place the bit and hold it up 1/8th inch to install the bit than another hand to lock the bit in. They only option is to turn the table on side and even then it is difficult. For example, I have built a bench that the router table is attached to; then I have to undo all bolts and turn table over each time I need to change bit.
That sounds like a bit of an issue, @MervynWh, though I suspect most routers would have a similar method of installing a bit. I can sometimes struggle to put a bit in, even without the router attached to a table.
Let me mention some of our helpful members, @Noyade, @Nailbag, @Dave-1, @JoeAzza, @Seaton and @Super_D, to see if they have any thoughts.

Hi @MervynWh , @MitchellMc is the ozito router a plunge router , if it is then you should be able to lower the plunge unit down to allow you to get to the router bit collet and change the bit.
i have a Makita plunge router mounted to a home made router table with a lift up table top, I still have lower the plunge unit to get to the collet to remove the router bit.
i also have an Ozito trimmer mounted to a table, this trimmer allows removal on the body unit to allow changing the router bits.

I dont have a router table sad to say 
However one thing I do know is that everytiem i have sat there for an hr trying to nut out how something is supposed to be done and determining it is in the too hard basket that there is an easier way / proper way to do so. Id go with @MitchellMc 's suggestion about having a chat with one of the toolshop team members. There have been plenty of times I have learnt something new about a tool that I hadnt known before just by asking about two different prices for the same looking item.

Are you able to provide close-up photos of your set-up from the other side to show us what's impeding the router bit change?
What is the drop length of the Ozito and is your work bench impeding this?
What does the manual say?
This is Triton router table with a 'generic' router that can drop 50mm.
There is plenty of room for a spanner-ed hand plus a hand to lock the spindle.
