I just picked up a Dremel Stylo+ the other day and so far I love it.  I have been using a Dremel 300 with the flex shaft for quite a while but there has been something wrong with the speed control so i decided to break down and get a new one. The regular dremel tool always feels too bulky so the flex shaft is a nice addition, but even then I felt like I was always repositioning it so it didn't knock something off the workbench. I decided since I mainly use it for drilling angled holes and light sanding I wouldn't need a ton of torque. So far it has fit the bill perfectly. My favorite part it it feels even more nimble than the flex shaft handle and it weighs nothing so it's really easy to move around with it. It has variable speeds and juuust enough torque for sanding. I'm pretty sure if I pushed hard enough I could bog it down easily, but it has forced me to sand a little bit less agressively which is a good thing. I don't think it would be useful for anything outside hobby work, but then again that's exactly what it's designed for!

Absolutely. The Dremel Stylo Plus is perfect for modelling - far more so than the bulkier 8050 micro.

I bought the corded Dremel Stylo plus (various speeds) recently which I think is the smallest of Dremel's rotary tool range. I mainly use if for sanding and drilling. In Australia, it came with a multi-chuck which can handle bits as small as 0.3mm. Extremely comfortable to use - far more so than the bulkier 8050 micro. Current build: Jotika HMS Victory.
