Router for starting out

Hi all,



I'm an amateur weekend woodworker and I'm at the point where I've been given the all clear from the commander in chief to purchase a router. I'm seeking some input on a router purchase. I'm looking at the 1010W JOF001, the 1400W MOF001 and the 2400W TRA001 and using justtools as a price indicator ($249, $329, $349) and I'm generally quite value-conscious.



I typically work on plywood, pine, MDF, but recently have used some meranti (I believe) from some old architraves/skirtings. And I'm not sure if I will go for more than filleting, chamfering and simple plunge cutting with a straight bit at a depth/radius of up to 8mm.



Would the 1010W suffice, or should I bite the bullet and go for the extra features in the 2400W? Safety-wise, as I am new to routing, would it be safer to start off with a lower power for less kickback when I do something stupid?



Finally, as I read about routers, I've seen stationary (for mounting on tables) and plunge routers, but when I walk through the shops here, they all seem to be plunge routers that can be mounted in tables. Is this correct?



Thanks!
