Fein 350Q vs 350QSL

[Kilgore Trout]

So my local HD is closing out the older 350Q models for $150. I've looked up the differences between the two models and it appears that the only difference is a slightly quicker blade change with the star mount.

I am thinking about just getting the older model and saving $50 unless there is some other benefit to going with the 350QSL.

Thoughts?

SL has a higher chance of not being outdated.

I don't particularly buy into all the advantages that Bosch and Co. are trying to push in the Starlock system, but given that they control what we have access to, we might not have a choice.

Fair point on potential parts support. Any other thoughts? Any better oscillating tools for about that price?
