Stile Router

Stile Router
Can anyone recommend a really good router table for making raised panels?

I’m making rail & stile raised panel doors, and have been using a home-made router table. The router table’s parts don’t fit together with the precision that I think is required for doing this kind of work (although I am admittedly quite inexperienced…some of the problems might not be due to the router table ), and I’m wondering if I could & should buy a really good router table (for a reasonable price, of course), or if it makes more sense to try to modify or re-make my home-made router table.

Rail & Stile bits generally have guides bearings- Do yours?
I make panels quite often and seldom use a table, just a router on a stable work surface.
