Welcome to the Forum, Sahar...
I would submit that whether you buy the Makita (or clone) or the Bosch "hefty", is really dependent on the work you will be doing. At some point you will see the need for both.
The trim router will handle smaller jobs like edge profiling easier. But if you're planning on cutting dados, rabbets, bigger profiles (chair molding, panels, etc) you will need the bigger router.
So it's not a matter of whether you are new or not, you could start with the smaller router but you likely need the bigger plunge router later. If you're planning on eventually using a router table, guess what, you will need one more suitable for the table. The general rule is if you can't take the wood comfortably and safely to the table, do it freehand.
Also, you are not likely to find the bigger profile cutters in the 1/4" (6-8mm) shaft sizes.
The benefits of the smaller router is that it will allow you to get the feel of routing while you're learning...but you will likely outgrow it. When you do, you will attempt to do jobs more suitable for the bigger router and then you're pushing the envelope on safety.
While the horsepower is close between the two, the larger router will provide more stability when performing bigger jobs freehand.
The short answer...? It depends on what you plan to do with it.
Both Makita and Bosch are good products...can't say for the clones...most often "you get what you pay for"...
Good luck and stay safe...
