In my case it goes back to the days of Traveller / Striker, for which
the recommended scale was 15mm. I collected very large armies of TTG's
Laserburn figures (painted up like GW-wannabees - Space Marines in
bright blue armour (shudder)), scratchbuilt lots of vehicles and played
some impressively huge games around buildings kitbashed from plasticard
and assorted model kits.
When SG2 appeared I initially bought some 25s, but as soon as the 15s
appeared I decided to switch scales so I could use my existing scenery
(don't think I'd dare get the blue painted figures out again tho').
There's one odd picture on my club's sparse, still-in-development site :
