I'm in need of a decent sander in this size. Is there any consensus which
make and model is the best deal?

I only own two Ryobi made tools: their oscillating spindle sander and their
BE321 Belt Sander. Both are nice, in my estimation. FWW, IIRC did a recent
review of 3x21 belt sanders. I also own a big PC 4x28 belt sander too. The
Ryobi sees all of the action in my weekend activities.
