I'd get one each of these:

http://www.toolstation.com/search.html?searchstr=sl196+router&Search=1

I've got the Trend and I use it a fair bit. If/when I need a 1/2"
router I'll start off with the other one.

I've also got a cheap 1000W router with 1/4 collet but it gets very
little use, it's a bit unwieldy for small stuff and doesn't take 1/2"
bits.

=============================
The specification for the Trend one says it has a pillar drill
fitment. Does this mean what it appears to suggest - that you can
attach it to a pillar drill? If so how does it work, if you've tried
it?
