Well I only paid about $350 more that a DeWalt. New mine was is only
$575. Not sure where you are getting your pricing.
But does did your DeWalt have the right angle attachment, eccentric and
quick drive change attachment?
As someone other than a hobbyist, I'll buy a tool any day that in ten
years will have cost you less than $5/month, and you're still good to go
for another ten, and more.
Festool's not for everyone ... until you experience what owning a
Festool can do for making you money, most simply won't "get it".
Hell, the Festool _dust collection_ ability alone has literally saved me
enough in _onsite dust control measures_ to easily pay for the rest of
my Festool aresenal five times over.
You bet I can justify owning Festool ... at twice the price if
necessary.
When I first got the Rotek sander it threw me for a loop. I was
used to judging how much had been done by the sawdust. I had to keep
checking to be sure it was sanding because there wasn't any sawdust.

LOL I just got through mentioning that about the Festool detail sander.
I did not have as much trouble with the Rotex which I got first as it is
relative easy to see the progress on the work. Going to a finish sander
where you are not reshaping so to speak really concerned me.
AND THE PAPER! It seldom looks worn out, I had to learn to give it a
finger feel on a regular basis.
Did you wear one of those festering proctologist gloves?
