    Default gst 140 top handle vs. barrel grip

    hello,
    i am looking to purchase a bosch gst 140. but im not sure if i should go with ce (barrel grip) or bce (top handle). ive heard that barrel-grip jigsaws are more controllable, but top-handle jigsaws use progressive triggers so you can control the speed of the blade. i have absolutely NO experience working with a jigsaw so i cant make a judgment myself, could you guys please give some opinions on this?
    PS: im not sure if this is the right section for this thread... so moderators, just move this thread somewhere else if this is the wrong section

    I've got one of each and almost always use the pistol grip. Better control. I find speed control not really an issue.
    The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
