As a virgin WWer you may not know that you will want at least two routers.
One for the table (which you should build) and one for free handing.

Eventually, probably true. But assuming you don't have an infinite
tool budget, one will work just fine while you get started.
Especially if it has 2 bases - that's a great compromise. I started
out with just a fixed base, then I built a table, and switched it in
and out of the table as necessary. Then I got a plunge base for my
current router body, so I leave my fixed base in the table 99% of the
time, just switch the motor back and forth, and use the plunger for
freehand. A few months ago I got a laminate trimmer, which takes care
of many handheld routing needs, but that meant I had to buy more bits
with 1/4" shanks. This setup is serving me very well right now. If I
start doing doors with raised panels, or other operations where the
router is spinning large bits or taking off a lot of material, or if I
find one really cheap, I might eventually get a larger router with
thru-table-adjustment to leave in the table. (Based on reviews I've
read, the Triton would be a contender there.) I think that's a pretty
standard progression for many woodworkers, but of course that would
vary according to what you make, your budget, available space, etc.

To sum up, you don't need 2 separate routers when you first start -
get one good versatile one, build a table, see what you use it for,
what it's not quite convenient for, and add to your router collection
accordingly later. Mostly, have fun with woodworking, and buy tools
as you need them and as you can afford them.

Very good advice! Highly recommended.
