Even with the new motor (I don't see how Festool would not have the new motor in the new builds of old model after admitting it was a problem); I'm not comfortable purchasing a Kapex even at 25% off. Over the past 10 years I have transitioned my shop to primarily Festool. I think it would be quicker to list the Festools I do not have than those that I do.
My point is, I've bought into the premium pricing, service, quality, reliability, and innovation that most Festools reflect. But I just can't get there on the Kapex given the history of the saw and how Festool handled the motor issue. Eight years ago I bought a new SCMS and it was between the Bosch Glide and Kapex. Bosch won then. With this sale, I was tempted at 25% off as I will be finishing the inside of our cabin over the next couple years and thought it would be an asset for that and a time to change to better dust collection. But I just can't justify the cost:risk. Maybe after a few years of the new saw in service with no motor issues, I'll reconsider.
