Iron-router base route and users routes

Question

Currently i'm building a social network with Meteor.js, and faced a routing problem. Thats the required router behavior:

1. On '/', if user is not logged, redirects to a langing page with login.
2. On '/', if user is logged in, grabs his username and redirects to a profile page by '/:username'
3. On '/:username', grabs a user by a passed username and renders his profile

Thats my solution:

Router.map ->

  @route 'base', 

    path: '/'

    waitOn: ->
      waitOnUser()

    action: ->

      say 'base route'
      user = Meteor.user()

      if user? 

        say 'redirecting to username from base route'
        username = user.profile.username
        @redirect '/user/' + username

      else

        @redirect 'hello'

  @route 'profile', {

    path: 'user/:username'
    layoutTemplate: 'mainLayout'
    template: 'profileLayout'

    waitOn: ->

      [ 
        waitOnUser(),
        Meteor.subscribe('pageOwner', @params.username)
      ]

    onBeforeAction: ->

      Session.set('profileOwner', Meteor.users.findOne({'profile.username': @params.username}))
      @next()

    data: ->

      if @ready()

        user = Meteor.users.findOne({'profile.username': @params.username})
        profile = user.profile
        id = user._id
        owner = Meteor.user().profile.username is profile.username
        {
          profile: profile
          userId: id
          owner: owner
        }

    action: ->

      @render()

waitOnUser = ->

  user = Meteor.user()

  handle = 

    ready: ->

      if user?
        true
      else
        false

The problem is that base route works everytime the '/:username' is called and redirects to a logged in users home page, so that becomes impossible to watch some other users page.

Can you please suggest some better solution for my case?

Found the solution, just need to change the order of routes definitions, so that 'profile' route gets called before 'base'
