You should try something like:

Route::get('/', array('as'=>'home', function(){
    if (!Auth::check()) {
        Redirect::to('home/index'));
    }
    else{
        Redirect::to('user/index'));
    }
}));

So you are basically redirecting the user based on the Auth check instead of defining an additional route.

Or use route filters

Route::filter('authenticate', function()
{
    if (!Auth::check())
    {
        return Redirect::to('home/index');
    }
});

Route::get('home', array('before' => 'authenticate', function()
{
    Redirect::to('user/index');
}));
