Festool ETS EC 150/5
I just went through the exact same debate and bought the 150/5 a few weeks ago. It's been a significant upgrade from my big box store sander - much more comfortable, no dust, sands more quickly. It definitely is aggressive when you want it to be, and I really appreciate it on large surfaces. One important point: it requires very little suction from a vac/dust extractor. In other words, turn the extractor down or open up an air port in your hose. Too much suction, and you'll feel it pulling onto the wood. I was getting swirls at first until I got my settings right. When it's set correctly, the sander will feel like it's floating on the wood. I was surprised how little suction was required to keep the dust clear. I'm still uncertain about finishes and high grits, but I just haven't tested it much. In the past I used the orbital with 220 between polyurethane coats. I've only tried it once on the Festool and thought it was taking too much off, but I probably need to try a higher grit or lower speed. Consistent with the comments here, everyone I've talked to has been happy with it. Across the Festool line, this one seems to be the jack-of-all-trades. More on reddit.com

November 27, 2022ETS EC 150/3 or 150/5?
I’m a hobbyist but my thoughts on this decision were that it’s already a 6” pad and will cover a lot of area in a hurry, and I’d probably rather prefer spending whatever percentage extra time sanding than have swirl marks I didn’t get out. Of course if you’re doing a ton of rough sanding get the /5, but I went with the /3. Curious to hear what others say also.

July 13, 2019Sander Advice - Festool ETS 125 EQ
The better solution would be to spend the same money on a large compressor and get a good pneumatic sander (like a dynabrade). Air powered sanders are in a league of their own as far as quality of surface goes, they are cheap, and easy to maintain. Another option would be to go with a bosch sander. All the offerings from bosch are comparable in surface quality to the festool at a fraction of the cost. More on reddit.com

r/woodworking on Reddit: Festool ETS EC 150/5
November 27, 2022 -
I'm in the market for a new sander, and from what I can tell, the Festool ETS sanders are among the best options.
I have seen a bunch of videos, regarding the differences between the 3 and the 5-version of the sander, but I'm still a bit unsure of which sander would be best overall. One of the main points regarding the 5-version, is that it's more aggressive because of the increased stroke range. Would I be able to use the 150/5 version for sanding to high grits (in addition to the more aggressive sanding?)
I work with a mix of sheet goods and hardwood, if that helps.

FWIW regarding your comment about the 5 being more aggressive, there is a YouTube video out where some guy tests how long it takes to sand through a veneer for each. It took the 3 four minutes, the 5 was two minutes. That convinced me that you just needed to be mindful when working with the 5.
