Default Bosch vs. Festool vs. Fein sanders and vacs

Hi.
I have A LOT of sanding to do, including the entire timberframe of my house,
plus hundreds of square feet of 1X4 T&G fir we're using on an inside wall.
All this sanding is going to be done INSIDE an almost finished house, so
dust would be a big problem. I think a 6" random orbital sander would be
the best choice and am considering the Festool RO150 and the Bosch 1250
DEVS. I'm sure they both do a go job of sanding, but is one better in terms
of ease of use? If one was even slightly less tiring to use, I'd go for
that considering how many hours I'm going to be spending using it.

My other dilema is the dust extractor. Festool CT Mini, CT Midi, CT 22 vs.
Fein Turbo II. I like the outward design of the Festool models, but the
Fine _seems_ like the winner based on noise. 72 db vs. 57.8 db is a big
difference. Has anyone heard them both? Is there really that much
difference between them?

I would sincerely appreciate any help from those who have experience with
the different models. Thanks!

-Tony-
