The ETS125 EQ totally rocks and you’ll be amazed at the results. Welcome to the slippery slope.

The Rotex 150 has a 6” pad I think, so some folks like to purchase sanders with the same size pad to use the same size paper. Something to consider between the two sizes.

I have the 150/3. I only use 6” sanders. I will be getting a 150/5 soon. I would not bother with the a small sander.I do furniture for a living. I have tried 5”, but 6” is just faster and better for me. Your mileage may vary. bob

I don’t beleive I would buy the RO 90 first. It is a great sander, but in my opinion rather limited because of it’s small size. I have the RO 125 and the RO 150 and for the work I do I much prefer the 125.

I also have the ETS 125 and love it.

The prefered sizes are personal and are determined buy the type work you do.

The only portable sander I have is the Ro150; I would not trade it for the world.

Thanks for the advice guys. Today I ordered the CT 26E Vacuum, the RO90DX sander and the ETS 150/3 sander, from Lee Valley.
