    Good router for new Freud router table?

    I scored one of the Freud router tables on clearance at Lowes ($129 with the aluminum insert). I have a Hitachi M12V mounted in my BT3 right now and two older 1/4" Craftsman units. I'm thinking of getting a new router dedicated to the Freud table. Would the PC 690LR be a good choice? Seems to be some good deals on that model going on, with the free sander and all (could always use another sander!) I don't spin any big bits, so I'm thinking the 1-3/4 hp would be fine. Any suggestions/advice on what to put in the new table would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the PC690LR and love it. It is my only router, so I bought an extra base to mount to my table. I use it for all my handheld and router table needs and it works great. It has plenty of power for my use, even rail and stile bits. I would highly recomend it, especially for the deals going on now.
