I have a 30 yr old sears 1/4" router with a trigger switch. The trigger sw is getting finicky but small, easy to handle & light weight. Got a new Bosch kit with plunge base, guide fence & regular base. For me bit selection determines which one I use mostly but for trim & more delicate stuff, I always go for the light weight craftsman. Allot might be that the bosch is new to me & am still learning how to turn it on & off. Making a top & bench so the bigger bosch will mostly be in the bench. Got the bosch to make joints in a 2-1/2" workbench, needed HP & larger bits.
Old vs New,
Both have benefits, the job & comfotable-ness (sp) dictate which one, for the user.
