router size question

I'm relatively new to woodworking - have built a few cabinets so far
and am finding new projects. I currently have a table saw and jointer.
I also have a Porter Cable 1 3/4 HP (693) router with interchangeable
plunge and fixed bases. I have the opportunity of getting a Milwaukee
3 1/2 HP fixed base (5625-20) router for a very good price and am
wondering if it offers enough of an advantage that having both would
make sense.
Thanks!
Sure makes sense to me. Do you have a router table? That is where I'd put
the big router and use the smaller, lighter one for hand work. Many of us
have two routers, one hand and one table mounted, for versatility.
