Alex you need to get the most powerful you can afford.
What happens if you use under powered is that the cutter does not rotate 
smoothly which causes it to vibrate and this will cause it to slip out of 
the chuck, next thing you know you are cutting deeper than you want. I know 
from expeience when I bought my first router years ago and thought it just 
the thing to hog out the back ground.
still have the piece in the shop as a reminder.
