Hi NCparolelady,
If you want to start off with a relatively cheap, pretty dependable unit with a few included accessories as well as a carrying case, check out the MLCS Marvel 40 router kit. It is on sale now for $90.00 and comes with free shipping. I have had mine for two years now and it workks well for trimwork, sign work and small router jobs. The only drawbacks are it not being a plunge router (few, if any, trim routers are), does not have a variable speed control built in or a soft start feature and only accepts 1/8" and 1/4" shanked bits. Other than that I like it. The Bosch colt is a step up with variable speed control, but the goodies are extra. Good luck with whatever decision you make.
