The pro version of the DAS-6 has a 850w motor whereas the G220 has 550w and the cable is twice as long too. Thats what swayed my decision when i chose the DAS-6.

You'll be pleased with the results either way. (I was too busy with my new stuff to take any photos though  :lipsrsealed:)

Think were (brother in law) are going to go for the das-6 pro too. Since were halfing in for all the pads/machine etc he really likes the das-6 pro so I dont think I have much of a choice here but heard nothing but good things from the das-6 pro so I think I'll be a happy camper.

Looks like a good kit.
I'm having machining lessons next month so DA or Rotary selection depends how I get on with both.
