If I had a job that required a bunch of sanding, I would probably pop

I thought it was closer to 2X that... ?

There is a Festool ROS that is considerable less expensive than the
Rotex125/150. *It is more of a finish sander rather than an all around

I'm glad I took your advice and bought into the Festool sander gig, and
I'm glad I took your advice and got the Rotex125 instead of the 150.

I tend to go toward bigger is better in that kind of tool (the more
surface area the quicker I'm done kinda thinking), but the 150 would be
a bit much to handle in the marathon sanding sessions that I'm wont to
do when I finally get started.
