Lots of good advice here. If you do decide to get a router, the Bosch combo unit you mentioned is an good choice. Other good choices are the Craftsman, DeWalt, Makita, Mliwaukee and Porter-Cable . There have been plenty of tests in woodworking magazines, and the differences between them are small. Look for 2 1/4hp, variable speed, and soft start. Also check the accessories, some kits come with an edge guide, others charge extra. Guide bushings are extremely useful, look for a router that is compatible with the Porter Cable system.
I also recommend you go to a store (Klingspor, Woodcraft, Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears) and hold the router in your hand. I like the plunge action on the Bosch, but I liked the fixed base on the DeWalt better. Some people like a trigger in the handle, others prefer an old fashioned switch. Just stay away from the Skil ones. They do alright with hand routing, but the slop in the base makes them poor choices for table routing.
