With routers the bits usually dictate the need for collet sizes. If you want to use a template to rout a worktop join you need 1/2". I think that's why most carpenters end up with three routers minimum. The 1/2" is too heavy for a lot of edge work but works well in a table, especially if you're using heavy duty profile blades. 1/4" is perfect for hinges, slotting in edges or biscuit jointing, profiles on shelf edges etc. Palm size for laminate trimming, rounding corners.
