What Festool Did You buy Today?

Ordered a TS75 from Healys Tools yesterday at 4:30pm, received it today at 9:30am!
Needed it for oak worktops, got a couple of kitchens to fit with oak, one I have to rip down a few big blanks to make shelves.
Cuts through it like butter, used to use old ts55 but I think it's had it.
Well pleased with TS75, it's a tool I won't use much but when I do it makes the job easier.

MFS 400. 260€ from my local dealer in Finland. Last week I bought the sanding kit in a systainer from the importers shop and main exibition place. The shop is own by Festool. Price was 69€. They do not produce that kit anymore, it was cheaper than the empty systainer (72€).

Found a mint Kapex at a pawn shop (they were advertising it on OfferUp) for $550!
RO125.
I haven't used a Rotex before (in fact, this is the first real premium-quality sander I have owned for myself - rather than just 'used' or borrowed).
When used in non-geared mode as a finish sander, should I, realistically, expect results comparable to an ETS, or similar? (I accept that the stroke sizes are not exactly the same.)
I have the supplemental manual, but are there any other Rotex tips or warnings to be borne in mind?

Although I am not Ben, I would use the protection pads. Hard cheaper than possibly ruining the backing pad.

Thanks, Peter.
I've only used Abranet before with the rectangular Mirka vac-hand sanding pad, but was quite pleased with it (esp for dusty stuff like filler or odd bits of plaster repair). I assume the Festool mesh line is similar?
Also, do you have any thoughts about my 'expectations question' for finish sanding with the Rotex (principally for birch ply, valchromat and mdf)?

My first Festool arrived yesterday. I am the proud owner of an ETS EC 125/3 EQ-PLUS. I know this may make all you fine woodworkers cringe, but it will be used to remove ablative antifouling bottom paint from my sailboat. It is an annual process which takes several days so the use of a fine orbital sander starts to make sense.
My next acquisition will be a CT MIDI dust extractor, but I’ll probably wait for the latest model to find its way into the marketplace before making the investment.

I got a good deal on an MFK700 EQ/B Plus for trimming ABS edgebanding. Amazon UK had 2 available for shipping and was around 40 quid cheaper than anyone else. Added it to my basket and slept on it. By this morning they'd knocked another 5 quid off it. Bought it, and the one remaining immediately jumped in price 46 quid. I think they have some algorithm at work that drops the price when they don't sell something for a while!

I received my cordless barrel grip Carvex yesterday! Wow.... also i'm already using it upside down and it is indeed easier to follow a line that way, much better visibility. Although I do have to practice because it's not as easy to keep the cut at a nice 90... gravity does not help from the underside!
