Default Help with Router choice

Please help me choose. I recently posted about which router to
purchase and have narrowed it down to two.

1) Bosch 1617EVSPK which comes with RA1054 Deluxe router guide. The
price for this is $309 (CAN) + taxes

2) Triton TRC001 for $259 (CAN) + taxes.

I am practically a virgin when it comes to woodworking but I am very
eager to learn and get started. I would like to buy or make a table
so this should probably weight into the equation.

I actually ordered the Triton from a company but it is taking forever
to come in so I may order it from another website.

Please give me your opinions. I really only want to buy once.

Cheers

I don't own either one. I have a Hitachi M12V and a Freud FT200E. That
should tell you that my budget limits my choices. I like them both.
The Hitachi's rigged for a table with a router raizer on it. I don't
use either one a lot but they've both done long hard work without
complaining.

However: If I had the money in my pocket for either one of the two you
mention, I'd go with the Triton without hesitation. I've heard only a
few problems with the Bosch but I've never heard of any Triton
problems and every Triton review I've seen was very positive.

Plus it's got bells n whistles I'd like to play with.

Of course, if I had that kind of money I'd probably have enough to buy
both and then evaluate 'em, but that's neither here nor there. :-)
