It’s not a direct comparison but I have the smaller, three-speed version of this. I have found it reliable and well-built and certainly good enough for the limited amount of work I use it for. Yes, I can see that an adjustable table would be better in many cases but that would increase both size and cost beyond my reasonable needs. The optional accessories seem to me to vary in quality and ease of use; some are plastic and getting a precise “fix” on the object being drilled is not always straightforward, but the machine itself is fine.
If I had it to do over again I’d probably opt for this variable speed model but I have had no real issue with the speed adjustments on mine.
