I've had the Milwaukee 2-1/4 HP router for over a year now and love it.
Its extremely rugged and has very good balance and the body grip is
very comfortable. Adjustment is good and can be adjusted from above a
table with included wrench.I bought mine for $179 w/case at Amazon free
shipping.

Woodcraft carries all three Milwaukee routers.

Modern Lumber over on Canal Street has them. It is local to me anyway.

Try a real tool store or lumber yard. HD and Lowes tend to carry models
with low price tags, not always the best tool in the line..
