2.5ah are great for things like trimmers and edgers where you'll notice the weight savings. In something like a mower, a 2.5 wouldnt last very long, and the added weight in a mower is a good thing.
2.5 & 4 - Great for multihead, trimmers, sprayer
4, 5, 6 - Great for blowers, chainsaws
7.5, 10, 12 - Great for mowers, snowblowers, vacuums, pressure washers, etc. and anything you wont lift that stays running for extended periods.

I just bought my first ego mower the other day. All my other battery tools are Dewalt, and 2.5 aH Dewalt batteries are something I never use. Smallest I use is 4 Ah.

Blower Combo with 2 batteries [lowes.com]
Blower Combo with 2 batteries
edit: I have two of the 765's, helluva blower, more than enough for average homeowner even with wet leaves. Pro-tip: remove the nozzle entirely, learn to use the blower without it...easier to access around house/between shrubs, and less physical stress on your arms through reduced backpressure. Added agility will increase your ability to control the flow with finesse, and actually increase your productivity. I've thrown away all my nozzles, but one, for the rare roof climb for gutters, where a nozzle still makes sense.

edit: my 2.5's are typically used only for hedge shears and line trimmer owing to their reduced weight, and the occasional backup when larger ones are exhausted and I still have work finish...they're perfect for these uses.
edit2: This $99 price is the price I paid years ago when Depot was clearing these out before/during the Lowes transfer, and I bought a few then, but I've been focused on larger units ever since, and love the dual battery combination tool deals to get surplus batteries. I guess what I'm saying is $99 is a good standalone price, it takes a combi deal to do any better.

I'd rather buy more batteries that I can swap in/out often, than get ripped off on "EGO-brand" batteries that really aren't anything special.
The first round of EGO-knockoff batteries did have a few issues, but nowadays they all work absolutely fine. Great tools - but I consider EGO batteries their actual money-maker, kinda like how HP rips you off for their 'genuine' ink cartridges.
