In most cases it doesn't really matter but when combining power tool and hand tool work, having a 1/4" bit matched up to a 1/4" chisel is nice.
Daniel - just edited my previous post. They're close, but not spot on. Although my dial calipers are on the (very) cheap side. Given the subtle taper of the blades, even if they were spot on, they won't stay that way.
No idea on the bench chisels, but again, I thought LV had specified them this way; (or at least, I feel like I remember reading something to this effect) others may or may not have.
