Good luck with what you chose...
Like John, I picked up a Milwaukee one day . . . I have 4 or 5 now. A hand router is a very personal thing so you will get a lot of answers swearing that "brand X" is the best thing since sliced bread.
Fortunatly there are quite a few really nice machines in the $200 - $250 range right now so unless a few bucks is going to make or break your decision you will be able to choose on merit. Try to get your hands on some of the ones folks have grown to prefer and you will know when you have found your "best" router.
