Ok, there are lots of sanders out there. I'm a dewalt guy, but not against something different if it's as good or better, although cheapest price does when if it doesn't affect quality, as it should be. I was browsing around, and found this from grizzly.........

$69.95 plus shipping. To me it seems like it is a deal, but I'm checking here first. I almost went to the Springfield MO store today, but held off. I should have went. So what do ya'll think, good deal, or is there better?

It's a good deal but I have heard some people say that the newer dewalt sanders like that are bigger than the older ones and more uncomfortable. I have one of the older ones and it's great.

I have the older version and I like it. Looks like that one has a square dust bag hookup, I like the old round version as it is easier to connect to a shopvac.

One of the magazines did a roundup of sanders a while back. If I recall correctly, the Ridgid won top honors in that test. It's only about $70.
