Default Speed controller

Does anyone have any recommendations for a speed controller that would handle this Hitachi M12V 3 1/2 horsepower router?

It looks like the cheapest replacement price I can find for the controller is $90. I can buy a whole new router on Amazon for $159. I'm trying to decide what to do.
It sounds like a 20 amp dedicated line may help prevent this in the future.
I also saw a user on another forum who by-passed the broken speed controller and just ran the router full speed. I could do this and use an externally speed controller, whatcha think?
Hitachi now has a 5 year warranty on their routers. Maybe they will still cover yours?
