For interior decorating preparation (keying gloss paintwork, removing

Should I consider orbital or random orbital? Palm size, one-third sheet

half sheet? Or a circular abrasive sheet?
I would hope to find something suitable that did not vibrate too much,
and
which would let the dust be sucked up a vacuum cleaner attachment. Is it
an
advantage to have a sander with variable speed?
A random orbital Bosch PEX400 or thereabouts. Something with variable
speed, dust extraction disks/filter box and with a bit of price behind
it ie. the cheap sanders are rubbish. ;-)
