    Router choices, opinions required for a new woodworker!

    i dont have the perticular model you mention but i can not reccoment Triton highly enough, they are amazing tools, i have a MOF001 which is a little over your budget...its my fave tool buy of all time... best router i own (i also have 2 far more expensive makita & festool models at work).
