No idea on comparison between makes/models, but the blue Bosch GOP 250 Pro I
bought when it was on offer from Axminster seems to work well. Does a very
neat job on floorboards and putting 2 vents in a door was a doddle cf. using
drill and saw etc.

Fein. But whether it's worth the extra cost to you I dunno. It's one of
those beautifully made tools that gives pleasure to handle even before you
use it. It also comes with a pretty solid case which might be important
for pro use - carrying it around.

Too late now - but the cordless one Aldi had a few months ago was
remarkable value for the odd job where cordless is needed.

Obviously the £500 Fein. If you're a tiler (doing odd-tile repairs at
least), this is worth having. I've got the £160 Fein, and I've managed
to wear it out and break it a couple of times. Both of these are
still cheap though in comparison to the tooling costs.

The Happy Shopper from Lidl is better than nothing.

You haven't said what you're going to be using it for, or how frequently.
My green Bosch has survived 3 years of frequent DIY use, some of it
quite intense.
If I were a pro using it every day then I'd go for the Fein or the blue
Bosch. If I'd had a bit more cash when I bought mine I'd have gone for
the Fein, but the Bosch was on offer at a third of the price.
If you've got money to burn then I expect Festool do one.
