Here's a good review on the Bosch vs. DeWalt. TL;DR: both are excellent, with each having some advantages over the other, which at the end of the day may come down to personal use cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhO5q9B
Meanwhile here's a decent one (different YT channel) for the Skil kit you have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8cT_Lu

EDIT: Disregard, it's back.
Seems like it's selling quick so if you're on the fence, buy now. Camelcamelcamel showing it doesn't go this low often.
Now I just need a great deal on the benchtop table.

I have the Bosch Colt - https://www.boschtools.
It is a palm router, easy to control and nice for finer work. Plenty of power for small rabbets like you seem to be asking about.
