Looks like my text got lost. Here's another try:

Is this the Bosch sander you mention above? I may go this route, filling in between my Bosch belt sander and DeWalt 5" single speed ROS. Seems like it might be a good plan. What do you think? And thanks for the steer to the Mirka products. I hadn't seen them before.
