Harbor freight has these on special for inside track members for $22. At that price I grabbed one, I can always use another grinder. It specs out pretty good too.
I like the trigger style over the paddle type. But that's just a personal preference.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I'll update when I do. It felt good in the hand in the store.

Here's kind of a side by side comparison with my old skill 6 amp that I have had forever. The body on the bauer is much slimmer, no tools required to rotate the guard either, that's nice. I also like the trigger switch much better.
I set the bauer up with a hard disc and I'll keep a flap wheel on the skill.

A little thing I do is I zip tie the nut wrenches to the cords so they never get lost and I don't waste time looking for the wrench when I need to change a wheel.

The bauer was well worth the sale price of $22. I think it's $45 normal price.
