   Sounds like we have some of the same kit, I too have a 1/2" x 12"(12mm x   
   300mm) air belt sander and the linisher, maybe you'd call it a vertical   
   belt sander, sounds much the same though is 25mm x 1065mm (1" x 42").   
   The bit above the platen does get the most use, the platen not so much.

   My Delta 1" x 30" belt sander is a light-duty hobby machine whose main   
   virtue is that it's compact and light enough to occupy shelf instead of   
   bench space when not in use. I think yours is the better choice if there's   
   serious work to do.
