    Is Metabo or Hitachi best?

    I've been looking at getting a rotary, I have heard good things about the Metabo and Hitachi. What's the best? I notice the Metabo, which many people like, only has 6.4 amps. Isn't that a little under powered? Any suggestions? I just want to buy a good one up front.

    Is the PC or Cyclo the better machine?

    Seems like both the PC and Cyclo are very popular, and I'd like to know which is the better unit. Assuming that the cost doesn't matter, what would all you professionals buy and why? And if there is any other popular DAs out there, let me know about those too.
