a Festool that does pretty much the same thing, regardless of how pretty
and quiet it might be...

And what if that Festool vacuum is part and parcel of getting and
keeping customers. LESS dust in a customer's house. Much LESS noise in
that same customer's house. May customers are living in the same house
a contractor my be working in.

Got a smart reply to that scenario Jack?

Geeze, "Hand 'em out a coupla-pair a ear-plugs!" : )
