Maybe build my own router table instead of buying a combo like the craftsman.
One of my favorites for a little handheld is the Porter Cable 1 3/4hp router. They're small enough for most folks to handle easily and powerful enough to mount in a router table.
For the acrylic work we're doing, there's no need whatsoever for a variable speed so don't worry about that.. unless you're looking at some fancy wood profiling
