It does weigh less, but it is solid. I have had lots of rotaries from a few Milwakees, lot's of B&D's, a bunch of Makita's, 1 Hitachi, 1 Dewalt, 1 Dynabrade, etc...
At first I hated the Metabo, as it felt like a toy with the small design, no trigger, bad place for dial, stupid on/off switch. But after I used it for a few weeks and went back to my others, I hated the others.
I actually grew custom to the Metabo and loved the extra control for finessing with your hand over the center of the drive. You can actually control the pressure right over the drive and make it do anything you want. It is one powerful machine.
But it is all preference. Makitas do make a great machine though! Makitas make some of the best tools.
For one coming from a pc, a Metabo would be easy to learn with the same design. Plus it is German built! It's very balanced and very precise. It loves RPM too.
