That's almost "pro" tool territory. I'd definitely be looking at a 1/2"
in the £150-£200 bracket if I were you.


at the moment i use a jigsaw a lot so going by what
people have said the router will be a jigsaw replacement

I wouldn't say that it's a replacement. I use router/jigsaw/circular saw
for different things, and wouldn't really want to be without any one
of them.


would it be
better to spend say £50 till i got used to a router or jump in with a
"proper £££" one,

If you intend to use it as you say, you're unlikely to find a £50 up to
the jobs you want to do.


as i said i have a diy business so some weeks it might get used once
some weeks then could be out every day

Then you need something which is powerful, has a decent level of
precision and will last.
