For doing what? Far too fast for stirring paint unless your name is

Bean.



Oh come now MrHall if the tool is for the occasional use it is worth the
money the only time a more expensive router should be bought is...when it
has to earn its keep.


No. Again. The amount of use is not really the issue - it's the
quality of the result required and the price than one is willing to pay
for that.

I would suggest that the quality of the final result is only partially
determined by the quality of the tools used. A big factor is the
experience of the user.
If they don't use a router (or any other tool) regularly, the end result
will be of a lower standard than from someone, like a professional, who
uses that tool 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. In that case, where there's
an upper limit on the "quality" of work produced, it makes good financial
sense to use a standard of tool that is commensurate with the skill of
the user.
