Well, I don't have much experience but - I wish I would have bought a lot more sizes of collets when I was still getting a paycheck. :-/

Z-axis real estate disappears pretty quickly on my mill when I mount a drill chuck. Add in a rotary table with a lathe chuck, and there is nothing left to work with. Being able to grab a drill bit in a collet has saved my bacon on several occasions. Problem is, I have many more drill sizes than I have collet sizes. :(
