If the minis have a weakness, it's the minimum speed. Without the VS, it's

Does the VS on the mini give you a lower speed than the "manual" system?
If so, that would be a major consideration...

As I don't turn above 680, nor below 360, nor am I able to turn in between
on turnings from 400mm bowls to ornament finials, it would be a waste of my
money. Reversing? makes no sense to a power sanding type and on
cross-grained bowls. Long-grained stuff would result in cross-grain in
either direction, so it also appears to be something I can do without.
