Tools: Router/Shaper vs. Router Table

I'm gearing up to build my first stripper. I need a way to rout the beads and coves on the strips. I don't have a router table. I have a Craftsman router. Should I buy a cheap Sears router table? What about those Router/Shapers that already have the motor built in. They seem like good values. Is there something I need to know about them? Please advise. Thanks!
