its overspiced imo, the kit delivered from Autopia with discount comes to £111 last time i checked it, so add a tranny and cable & plug (aprox £55 if you go new) and you have quite a saving over the Fleabay one, also Autopia will look after you better than most UK places too

ps thats the cheaper das kit hes selling , i would go for the sfx kit (that's what i quoted you above)

oh and there may be a uk machine coming so you may want to wait

The fact thy are giving it more power would make me wait. it will address the one flaw the machine has at the moment it always feels it needs just a touch more go.

Yes the power should be a nice boost.

The rotation on the head of a Porter Cable can at the moment stop with as little as 12-15lbs down force. The Ultimate won't stop rotating until you apply something like 63-65 LBS of prressure.
