The blade action is not straight up and down but orbital (elliptical) strokes
I'm expecting the Bosch 1590 under the Chirstmas tree. Never heard a bad work about them. Sure winner.
The Bosch because it is very good. Others may be very good also, but this seems to be the most recommended.
Never did a comparison so I can't say for sure how well it will perform.
Might look here:

This one has been beat to death.
What part of Bosch don't you understand?

I think few tools quite "lights up the room" to the same degree as the Bosch jig saw, at least not in that class or price range. The reviews have been so good or overwhelming I can hardly wait to buy one even though a jig saw is one of my least used shop tools...sure to change if I had a Bosch...... anyway is this vaunted reputation just for the 1590/1591 or does it apply to any of the lessor brethren(less amps) or previous models(1587)?

I don't think the Collins Coping Foot fits the very latest Bosch. The foot adds even more utility to an already great tool, making very accurate cope cuts quite easy. I have a top handle 1587 that's kept me very happy over the years. Recently, I had the opportunity to try a Festool, and have to say it's even nicer than a Bosch.
The 1584/87 has been the standard by which all others are measured (including the new 1590/91) for a long time. It had a predecessor, the
1581, which was virtually indistinguishible, and which was equally regarded."Lost In Space/Woodchuck" wrote in news:oFYgh.65$ snipped-for-privacy@news.sisna.com:
The Ridgid is a rebranded Metabo. I bought the Metabo before finding this out :-P The Metabo is a great jigsaw...I wrote up a review for it on Amazon. I thought it was a lot better than the older Bosch; I haven't handled the newer Bosch 1590 yet...
