is the carbotech the one with the diegrinder dremel thingy? carbotech are usually not too bad.general rule of thumb is to buy the best you can afford. if your going to be cutting a lot of thicker timber say around the 45-50mm you might be better saving your doh and getting a bandsaw as the scrollsaws struggle with the thicker stuff.at least mine doesDeadLOL

Gary, I reckon the Carbatec will be the way to go. Rockwell has a long history in the US, but I am not sure how well the back up is here in Oz.
The rotary tool would be a useful additive as well.
If you can't afford the Carbotec sander/linisher yet (like me) maybe get by with a cheaper alternative like the Ryobi for a time (like me), till finances allow splurging on the better brands.
