Honestly, Festool is probably happy with that opinion, I say this since in the long run they will most likely sell the guy that buys a 500 a 700 later... I tried for a while to convince myself I didn't need the 700 but when the Seneca adaptors came out and people started to review them it became clear the 700 seemed like the clear choice for me despite the brutal upfront cost. That isn't to say the 500 isn't quite useful in itself, there was a time in history that we all had to muddle through with only a 500.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
