I'm ready for a new router and thinking about dust collection.

I'm looking at the DeWalt DW618PK, which has a dust collection port on the plunge base, but not on the fixed base.

Question 1: Can I use the plunge base for an ordinary dado or rabbet, so that I can use the dust collection?

Question 2; Is there a good alternative in a mid-sized router that includes dust collection (at a reasonable price, you greenies.)

I'm a hobbyist, graduating from a cheap entry level router. I like the idea of two bases, 1/2 and 1/4 collets, and speed control.

Thanks.
