If you don't have a great workshop/space, then I second the rough cut and trim method.
If you are buying a router, then I suggest getting one with an adjustable speed feature, and USE IT. Matching your rotation speed to your bit size can make a nice difference in cutting, and prolonging the life of your bit edge.

You are going to try and insert my foot into my mouth, and expect to get away with it? (Old an middle English are dangerous things. Use wisely and with caution.)
