Which is the better deal???

If i build a router table and commit a router to it, what advantages does it have over a shaper? Seems i can get a shaper from Wilke or Grizz for ~$500 that'll also accept router bits along with shaper cutters. If i build a router table and add the cost of a nice fence, router and table/insert i'm around the same price.

I'm leaning towards a shaper....
