I thought my old orbital sander was fine until I borrowed a buddy's random orbital

I was blocking out a quarter panel on a 2002 Silverado last week, using my trusty 5-inch orbital I've had for a decade. My friend Mike lent me his newer random orbital model, and the difference in finish time was huge. The swirl marks were almost gone, and I cut my sanding time down by about 30 minutes on that one panel. I'm not going back. Anyone have a brand they like for the random orbitals that won't shake your arm off?

My orbital sander is older than my dog, and just as slow.

Ever notice how tools age like pets?
