I'm in the market to purchase a router.
I've seen too many bad reviews on the internet an would like for advise.
What I'm looking for is a router with soft start, variable speed and also
1/2+1/4 colet.
I would also prefer a plunge router around 2hp that would work nicely in a
table.

Some stuff from the page about Model 7529R

* Starts and runs on standard household current
Advanced micro height adjuster
Soft start and electronic brake
Variable-speed adjustment
* Easy blade changes
2 HP variable-speed adjustment
Will accept 1/4" and 1/2" bits

Good thing that it starts AND runs on household current. I hate it
when I buy a tool and find out that it requires that special industrial
current. Its even worse when I have to start it on industrial current
but run it on military current.

And the easy blade changes are very important to me because I change
blades on my router frequently.

Sounds like you want a Dewalt 621. It fits your description
perfectly. I've had one for, I dunno, 5 years or so, used it both in
and out of the table and I couldn't be happier with it.
