Several models of the Porter Cable routers have spindle locks. Easy way to find out is to look on the makers site and see if they mention having it.

The smaller dewalt DWP611 router has a button spindle lock. The triton's have a lock that is automatically activated when in bit change position (plunged to full depth).

My last year acquisitions both have spindle lock, Makita trim router set and Bosch GOF1600CE "heavy" router.

I am surprised you found there isn't many... I was thinking it was very common for recent routers.
