How to choose a router.

I'm not familiar with B&D router quality.
FWIW, this is a pretty close match to the Porter Cable kit I have:

The problem I'm having is that in the states you work in $, inches, the bits are 1/2" or 1/4" and it seems the most common routers are fixed. Over in the uk we measure in mm, pay in £, the bits tend to be mostly 6mm or 8mm and the majority of routers are plunge type. In short, the advice people in the states give is accurate for the us but we don't have the same kit over here.
Please if you're in the uk, correct me if i'm wrong.

No, not UK, but who knows if P.C. has European equivalents.
