1/2" *is* stronger, but also much bigger and heavier. Which you need
depends on the job you are doing (in reality you will probably need one
of each eventually)

Thanks. I had read the faq but I thought that since the Titan was able
to use 8mm, 1/4", and 1/2" collets it was quite versatile and saved me
buying one of each.

I think the 1/4" model weighs 3.6kg and this one weighs 5kg. Do you
notice the extra weight? Surely it is resting on whatever you are
working on?

Its a tad low on power for a 1/2" router, and the minimum speed is too
fast for use with the larger cutter sizes you may want to use in a
router table.

What power would you expect for a 1/2" router and what minimum and
maximum speeds would you want?

Thanks.
