2.2kW have the advantage of the ER20 collet size, of course.

...which is worth having. I've just been using a 2" bottom-clearing bit on a 1/2" shank which needs an ER20 collet. Mind you, the old MDF-built router would never have managed it!

Nothing stops you limiting bit size with rigidity and having a spindle that's ready for your next machine ;-)

If you have or plan to make a rigid machine, 3kw is better. Some extra speed and power does not hurt.
