If you could only have one which would you choose? Due to recent expenditures the bank account is suffering but I need to get a sander anyway because I am addicted to these Festools ;D I certainly can't afford both, and it will be quite some time before I can afford another one so I figured I would see what others thought. I am thinking the RO150 is more versatile, I can use it for polishing as well as rough and finish sanding and I really love innovative tools such as these! By comparison the ETS150/3 just seems so lackluster to me but many here seem to prefer the ETS for normal sanding over the RO. Then on the other hand if I went with RO125 I could probably swing an ETS125 and RO125 togethor for not too much more than an RO150 alone. Is the extra inch really worth the extra cost? Is the ETS really that much more pleasent to use in comparison to the RO for normal sanding operations? Mostly what I would be using the sander for is stripping paint, sanding dovetail joints flush and prepping for finish but I also like the thought of using the RO to polish my vehicles, in which case the bigger RO150 would probably be better suited. However I do enjoy very much making jewlery boxes with my Jointech setup and these are mostly smaller projects will the RO150 be to big and clumsy for finishing jewlery boxes? This decision is so hard. please help me make the right choice!
