I can post some pics of my "table" for you, but it might take me a day to get to it. It is not really a table, but more of a table top that I can place onto a stand when I need to use it. I don't use it very often, so I didn't want another fixed piece cluttering my space.
Porter Cable is considered one of the "premiere" manufacturers of that type of equipment, the could be considered the "Deltec" of power tools. Another good manufaturer is Delta.
A plunge router is more versitile. If you wanted to route out euorobracing, or anything that required the router to start in the middle of the material, as opposed to the edges, you want to use a plunge router. It can be done with a fixed base router, but it is not reccomended, and I could easily see how you could hurt yourself.
Porter cable also makes a router that has interchangeable bases, so that you have the benefits of a plunge and a fixed base router. A good place to look is in the toolbin at Amazon.com, they have great prices and it is where I bought my router. I have a Hitachi, with a plunge base.
