PSB420 EBQ or PSC420 EB

[Montag]

New to festool tools and I have the option between these two lightly used jigsaws. The corded is 300 while the cordless comes with two 5.2aH batteries for 375. Does anyone have any suggestions on which to buy over the other?

Go with the cordless. The price difference to include two batteries (and I guess a charger?) makes it a reasonable bargain.
Just make sure you're not actually being sold one of those terrible PSC 400 ones, they're probably one of Festool's worst products ever.

I had the PS 420 first and then upgraded to the PSC last year (because the cord is seemingly ALWAYS 2 inches too short at the end of a sheet). No difference in power and handling but not having a cord stick out the back makes this SO much more comfortable, I love it (well, as much as one can love the 420 series with it's quirks, I guess...  [unsure])

Thanks Hawkeye. That was the way I was leaning as well. Appreciate the input

Just saw that UStoolandFastener has the 420 D handle for $375 clearance .  Here are the specifics:
Festool Carvex PSBC 420 EB Li 18v BLUETOOTH (1 battery and charger) D-Handle Cordless Jigsaw (575682)
regular $550.00  now $375.00 .  And if you add a tee shirt and put in the code freetee you get the t-shirt for free. 

A few weeks ago I missed out by just a few hours getting the HKC crosscut saw with two 5.2 batteries for $395 from a different supplier,  ($5 more than basic model) so I am watching prices closely.  Have to be ready to pull the lever quickly.
