FESTool / Fein Sanders/vacuums

[bjl_sailor]

Hi:

I've been using the same 5" Port Cable RO sander for over 5 years now. I've built two 12' strip planked boats and refinished the brite work on a Tartan 34 with it. While it works well, Dust control is a major concern for me in my new shop. Shopping around, I've seen various right angle Random Orbit sanders with specialised vacuums for dust control. There is a FEStool RO sander/vacumm kit avail at Jamestwon Dist right now for about $700.00 My question is to anyone who has used this equipment and if possible quantify it's benfits over a regular Poter Cable 333 RO palm sander. Fein also makes a high end sander -- any feedback on these or simular high end sander/dust control systems. Would be most appreciated.
cheers
