I just received the Kalamazoo 1x42 sander (http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=505-1371) I bought from Enco for about $216 with free shipping. Its a really nice machine.
It has Baldor motor.
Its made in the US, right here in Michigan in fact.
Depending on the paint job of the Offshore competitor (which also has a small disc) its anywhere from slightly to quite a bit cheaper when shipping is figured in.
Yes!

I'd been looking for something for general metalworking duties for a while. I briefly had one of the offshore ones i puchased used but it took up 1/3 of my "dirty" bench so I sold it. I had been keeping an eye out for one of the three wheel older units for a while This is a lot more compact. And a lot more refined.

I got the Viel (made in Canada) from Lee Valley: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=44884&cat=1,43072
It's $90 but doesn't come with a motor.

I saw that one too, but the Kalamazoo looks more substantial to me.
