OK - So after all the posts about Bosch Jigsaws I'm trying to narrow down
which one to put on my Christmas list.

Barrel versus top handle, which do you prefer and why?

of the top handle models there are the models listed below. Seems the 1590
and 1591 are the only 6.4A model. It seems the 1587 variants are the same
saw but with case, blades or other accessories. Correct? What's the
difference between the 1581 and 1587?

Thanks!!!
