My first use is to help me take out the OSB from under the linoleum in
the bathroom before I install 3/4 plywood, backer board, and tile.
After much consultation,I've decided not to take out the vanity and to
install tile around it. I'd be curious what others think about that.
That vanity is in there pretty good.
Next I'm going to take out the carpet and OSB in the front room and
install 3/4 plywood, backer board, and tile. I assume the oscillating
tool will be very helpful there as well.
After that, I'm assuming it will come in handy in many other ways.
So I'm really torn between tail/no tail.

Go with the tailed version and get your projects done. You can always
buy a untailed version later, when you find one for a good price.
Btw, oscillating tools tend to be much slower than circular saws. It's
just their nature. Trying to cut an 8' board that usually takes a minute
or two with a circular saw will take an hour or better with the
oscillating saw, even with good technique. Just want to keep your
expectations in line.

YES! the oscillating tool is not a replacement of a jig saw or circular
saw. It simply gets into tight areas that would other wise be almost
impossible to access. But it does this with sanding and grout removing
capabilities also. I use mine a lot to flush cut through Domino's that
reinforce my drawer joints.
