Going off the CT26 v Midi thread, who is the competition for Festool? Flex, Metabo, Bosch, Makita, Dewalt?

I’m looking for a lower cost alternative to Festool that still performs well. It will be used for a future track saw, hand sanders, routers, etc. No big chip producers. I’m okay adding a mini cyclone separator like a dust deputy or similar to separate the fine dust.

Currently using 10 year old Craftsman shop vac with upgraded filter.

You guys must have experience with some of these newer units. I haven’t seen many reviews of these other units for the past couple years, based on web searches.
