I would agree with nzgeordie on this one..
Routers do make neat holes but they also make tons on clips
The Forstner bit will pull them right out unlike the router bit..
I guess you are going down 2" or more, that's hard on a router bit, not to say any thing how many times you will need to plunge the bit in and out of the hole,,
Plus with the Forstner bit when the hole is drilled out you and can go back and take off just a bit of the hole ,so you can get the chips out easy...with two fingers and see what you made in the poker game..
with just quick glance...
