Ever watch "The Router Workshop" on PBS?

The ease of performing all operations _on_ the router when it is lying on
the table convinced me I didn't need any shaper wannabe setup. I got the
LV circular base and hung one of the M12V Hitachis, sans springs, underneath
it. Out, in, setup bars and clamp-on fences sure make for a comfortable
operation.

I'm looking into building a router table soon and before getting into
that,
I'm thinking about the router I would want to have in there. I have a
PC690
that I do NOT plan to use since whatever goes in there I'd rather leave.
In
order to have something that's easily adjustable, the two main candidates
are a) a fixed-base router with something akin to the "Router Raiser" or a
plunge router that has a microadjustment feature accessible from the top.
The obvious advantage to the plunge setup is cost. However, I've read
conflicting accounts of the usefulness in practice of the microadjustment
of
some plunge routers. Does anyone have positive or negative comments about
the current crop of plunge routers and their effectiveness and ease of use
in this scenario?
