Default portable bandsaws

Thinking about buying a portable bandsaw, for the primary purpose of cutting
metal stock - I don't own any sort of bandsaw at present.

1. I'm fond of Milwaukee tools, but I wonder if people have input on
strengths or weaknesses of the various other makers?

2. Some have variable speed, some dual speed. For cutting steel, would I be
much better served by a variable speed unit?

Thanks!
