Ace hardware just had a sale on the Dewalt. Check it out - it was cheap. I don't have the flyer any more. I have a Dewalt and no problems ever. Occasionally you will have to replace the hook and loop pad but that's with all of them. Mine is not the variable speed one but I don't think you need that. Any of the major brands will be good. I would stay with 5" 8 hole or 5 hole because the disc will be easier to get locally rather than 4" discs.
