The cheapest I found was $110 at Ace tools so your price is good.

You also need to consider freight, some companys want as much to send it overnight as the sander costs so be careful, some will send it to me for $14 regular UPS ground rate, sounds fair enough.

I have tryed the Matebo and it was worth the money. I did my wifes 96 chev truck and it did a good job and cut my time in half. With friends coming over and taking 3 phone calls I was done in 30 minites. If I was not distracted I would have been done in 20 or so..

It is a good upgrade.

Chips still needs to buy a system I think. I think he has been slacking still. Are you still on the side lines looking, or have you got into play?

In regards to is it better? Read what I posted again and you can answer your own question. If it was not worth it I would not post what I did....

The sander fits in the palm of my hand. I hold it like a palm sander. Roll the wrist to get it were you need it to sand.....

**** Thanks Ben ............... for the heads up on the Metabo.......
