I had a Bosch like that...funny thing was...it was green! There was a rash of green Bosches around for a while and the stuff was cheap. Was that just up here in kanuckistan? That was 1985-ish That had to be the most comfortable little machine. Too bad it didn't last. (Bushings instead of bearings..plastic gears...) I have been tempted to try that Ryobi, but my experiences with Ryobi haven't been great. The BLUE Bosch version of that sander is too expensive just to buy one to try it.
Lew Hodgett is making me buy the choo-choo. That thing is heavy though...I need to handle one and see.
