I have the contour. Its a solid, heavy tool and I expect I could get through many projects with it. I don't believe that it works any better than other abrasive methods in removing paint, but it does well in not heating the sheet metal up. Its a little cumbersome in tight spots and you will still need to use other methods in those areas. The wheels from eastwood are expensive.
Were I do to it all over again, I'd take a flyer on the harbor freight tool. Its less than half the cost of what I paid for the contour, but I think the contour has dropped in price now due to the intro of cheaper alternatives.
