Sanding is a total PITA, thus bigger is better IMHO.

I have a 6" Bosch that gets no respect.

Building a boat, I beat the crap out of it and it just comes back for
more.

When it's time to replace it, will get another Bosch or maybe the 8" Fein.

There are both German, you can't go wrong with either one.

Hey Lew - have you ever used an 8" machine? If you have, ignore the rest of
what I have to say, but if you haven't then let me say that you won't want
to replace a 6" tool with an 8" tool. (intentionally leaving that wide
open...). I'd go with both in my inventory if I were you. 8" is great for
knocking down big stuff and for overall leveling, but it won't get in where
6" will and it gets unwieldy after a while.
