Festool 150E vs 150FEQ

[Cliff Holmes]

This Festool thing is turning into an addiction ...

I have a chance to pick up an RO150E at a decent price. I can't find, however, what's the difference between the 150E and the new 150FEQ.

Is it a major upgrade?

McFeeley's website entry for RO 150 FEQ has a table which shows the differences:

Detachable "plug-it" cord on the FEQ + more power seem to be the major differences.

Thank you, that's perfect!
