My workshop is small. Accordingly, I build small stuff. Boxes and such. I have always used a 5" ROS. My wife recently bought me a Festool 5" ROS (not the Rotex) at Woodcraft. I think I will return it for the Rotex. I just can't figure out if I should move to the 6". As I understand it, the Festool 6" sanders run smoother with less vibration than the 5" - and this is what attracts me to them. I know the 6" dominates the Festool ROS sales, but am concerned that it might be too large for the kind of work I do.

I'd love to hear the opinion of others.

Thanks.
