Thoughts.

1. One reason 5/25/100/500 might be better is that the chips progress at a 4x or 5x rate while the 25-100-500-1000 seems a bit different as almost no one goes from 500 to 2000/2500 so you might need more chips with this scenario if you run large tournaments and/or you want to color up from the 500 level.

2. If you don't use any chips higher than $5 for cash games, a 25/100/500/1k means you never need to worry about having the a $5 chip migrate from the tourney to the cash game. Not an issue if you have separate, different chip sets.

3. It sounds better to be betting larger dollar amounts for some folks.

4. You use standard colors and solid chips and play with a lot of folks that are red/green color blind.
