What is the best Finish Sander?

I have several sanders including a Rotex 150 RO, the HD 2610 (Metabro SXE)
and a Speed Bloc PC. I presently use the Rotex for up to 150, then the 2610
for 150 and finish with the Speed Bloc with 150/180. The results are ok but
I am looking for something that has good dust collection to replace the
Speed Bloc when I have to sand inside.
Any suggestions? Thanks, JG

Look into the Bosch 1297DK and the vacuum adaptor. It is not a
SpeedBloc, but the dustcollection is pretty good with my Fein TurboII
on it. The reloading mechanism is pretty slick. I do not know what it
is going to be like 5 years from now as I don't use it much. I punch my
own sheets as their idea of a hole-punch sucks canal water.

Actually, it's a cabinet-scraper, IMHO. No sander can match a scraper.

I just got two of the HD2610s and they are great. I will get more in the
future when I need sanders.
(yeah, I know they are discontinued; anyone try the 2611 yet?)

A good scraper will eliminate a lot of that sanding.
