Default Quality of Ryobi tools (especially router)

Hello,

I am a sunday woodworker and own an OK set of tools (according to my
standard/useage at least).
I want to buy a new router (my $5 ebay one having given the genie out) and I
was looking at the Ryobi RE1803BK and the porter cable 694VK.

the Ryoby is cheaper ($150), 2HP, comes with a plunge base, a d handle base
and a fixed base (will be used to create a table).

the porter cable is smaler in size more expensive (200), 1.75 HP and comes
with the fixed and plunge base too.

What do you think is the best? is it worth the price difference?

thanks, cyrille
