: Just FYI- I'm using the Bosch. It placed just behind the Festool in
: the FW test, but it's a couple hundred less. The Festool's
: cord/hose arrangement is almost worth the price there. BUT-
: notwithstanding, the Mirka discs made a huge difference even
: above that.

I love Bosch tools. I have a Bosch belt sander.

I used to use a plain-jane DeWalt 5" ROS. It died a slow death after 3 years. It did have a rough life and helped build the house (all the maple cabinets) and 4 kayaks.

The price of the Festool RO125 was a bit tough to justify to my wife. She came around after I bought it. Just in labor savings alone, it paid for itself after one boat. Now I just need to save the coin for a Festool vac system. They are SO quiet!
