I would definitely go for HP if you're planning on have larger bits. The 2/3 HP router excel at trimming edges, but thats really only what the machine is built for.

There are these days even more powerful machines that are quite small and handy, perfect for fixed instalment, that I would have a look at too and compare before I buy one. Best thing is to go to a professional hardware store, and have them show and tell you about the machine (in depth). Then when you made up your mind, you can always buy it online if the price differs too much.

Good luck with your project!
