Bought a $260 trim router for a built-in job in Amarillo, and it paid for itself in one weekend

I had a bookcase job with 14 shelves and I was about to cut all the dados with a circular saw and a straightedge like I always did. A guy at the lumber yard in Amarillo told me to grab the small trim router, so I did, and what took me two full days on the last job took six hours this time. Anybody got a jig they swear by for shelf dados, or do you all just buy the plywood already cut?
