The Dremel 4000 has speed control build in, I find that useful when I have some really heavy duty grinding or shaping to do. It's speed control is really speed control, when you increase the load on the tool, it pours on the juice to keep it running at a constant speed, very nice feature. I believe the #219 is not not a constant speed controller, just a variable voltage controller.
Maybe so, but with the 219 I can crank down my old 280 to slower than any Dremel with the speed control built in. Handy when drilling with #76-80 size drill bits.
