Once you have your router attached to a mounting plate there are few reasons to remove it. There are advantages this way such as having the flat edge to guide with, the ability to install roller bearings or pins in two diagonal corners and use them for centering on a board to cut a mortise or keyhole, don't forget the fact that the larger base makes for more stabile free hand routing. That common sense stuff will get you every time.
