I managed to sell my RO125 and my ETS 125 for almost enough to fund the purchase of the RO150 and the accessory paper assortment. Uncle Bob tells me I should be in business next Wednesday!
I'm asking Santa for the ETS150/3, and if she comes though, I will have successfully upgraded to 6" sanders in my shop.
I loved both of the other sanders, but I read somewhere (and it was obvious, I just didn't think about it when I originally purchased the RO125,) that a 6" sander covers 1.44x the surface area in a given pass. I'm a hobbiest, and I rather enjoy sanding now, but time is time, and that's a pretty significant difference in "work" being accomplished.
I've got all of the smaller "specialty" sanders for doing light/small/detail/profile work, so these will round things out nicely!
