Michael, welcome to the forums. You really need to tell us more as to what you plan to use the equipment for. In my opinion, unless you intend to do big bunches of work, I would go with a router. You can get a 3 1/2 hp that will do the work and you will have more of a selection of bits to work with. The router with the MDF table will be more versatile than a shaper. IMHO.
