Ok, I'll bite. I've got the >3 HP in-table. The measure of a "router" is it's ability to be used. The >3HP variable speed, plunge monsters are the only ones that can take the >3" bits that you would use for raised panel doors for kitchen cabinets or furniture.

Please note, even the big routers may need to be modified for some bits. Make sure the router base can be modified to take bits of this size. Don't let someone convince you that >3" bits should be mounted outside the router base.
