After some recommendations on die grinders.
I'm looking to get a corded die grinder, mainly for light fab prep work, cleaning up my welds, rough finishing etc.. you know the drill. As such, it will see occasional use.

What wattage is recommended?
Brand recommendations? I see Hitachi, Makita, Metabo all have offerings... from 300W to 950W. If a better quality model is available used, I might snap it up if the value is there. There are even chinese models on ebay as little as $50.
Is variable speed control worth the premium price?
