Has anyone had an experience with the Rockwell RK3734K Low Profile Jigsaw?

My jigsaws (an old B&D and a cheap Skil) are both shot. I noticed the Rockwell on salew today ($85) at the local big box.

After comparing and reading alot of reviews, I purchased the Bosch 1591evs. I can’t say enough good things about this tool.
No one, foreign or domestic makes a better jigsaw than Bosch.
It’s unbelievable how fast this thing will rip through a 5/4×6 treated pice of decking with the orbiting on, yet makes smooth high precision cuts on furniture pieces.
Please take a look at before you decide.
Here is a review of it.

Amazon has many reviews on it and most are 5 stars with a few 4 stars. You rarely see approval ratings that high.

Good luck.
