Yesterday I asked about jig saws - today I'd like some feedback about
routers, please. What to look for, etc. Considering this will be my
first router (and I'm not sure all the ways I'll use it), will I be
served ok with a moderately priced one for a couple of years until I
really know what I want? Then, I would go for the better, more
expensive models.

Thanks for your continued help!

Since you don't specify what you're going to use this for, it makes it
a bit difficult to answer. That said, probably the best all-around
machine that meets your limited criteria (first router) is the Porter
Cable 690 series. You can get a plain or plunge base (or both), and
is a good medium duty router.
