That's sort of where I end up, probably the coreless one as I've got the batteries.
Obviously that's £300 (or £260 corded). But it's a plunge router as well, with all the bells and whistles. Whereas for my use I'm wondering how much benefit I'd see between +£100 for the Bosch/Makita over a £40 one. I'm unlikely to be disappointed with a £40 router not being exactly what I need/want, but would be with a +£100 one.
Worth saying I unexpectedly came into a small amount of money, which my OH has given me license to just spend. So that's what's funded my recent tool purchases. I've got ~£300 left which would get me a cheaper router, mitre saw and a grinder, and some clothes. I can top up, but Nov-Jan has a shit load of birthdays, Xmas car and motorbike insurance renewals so would rather not. Which would mean waiting until spring.
Thinking it through a mitre saw would have made loads of aspects of making my work bench faster and easier. So I've sort of answered my own question there.

I’m very happy with my Dewalt mini router with plunge and fixed base. At the pricey end but it’s great.
