Thanks!

I would definitely get the DW 621 has such smooth plunge action light enough for handheld and lots of power for cuts of all types. Great dust collection as well.
Just my personal experience.

Either of the Triton's are a super deal considering cost. If more $$$$$ is OK, get the Bosch package. I wouldn't buy anything branded DeWalley today, it's rapidly becoming a junk line, and HF has better quality tools. The height of the handles on the Triton's is a Goose chase. Look at pics of any plunge router, and they will be higher than a fixed base. Most product pics show the router wearing the fixed, with the plunger base alone next to it. If it fit your budget I sure wouldn't eliminate the Triton's due to something about the handles being too high. As to the dust on any type of glass shield being any type of a real problem.  Gimme a break A clothes dryer sheet not on the list, may be the best to keep dust clear.
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya
