[Jewelry making - Article 00146] - [Orchid] Foredom advice needed

    I am planning to purchase a Foredom Flex Shaft, and would appreciate
    advice as to which model is best.  I have learned in other areas
    that cheaper purchase price does not always equal cheaper long term
    costs, and was not sure if I would be better off going on and buying
    a more expensive system, or if a less expensive one would really do
    as well. 

    I still have lots to learn, and would like something that I can grow
    into, rather than buying something that I need to replace as my
    skills grow.  At the same time, I am not, nor do I plan to be, a
    full time jeweler.  I work part time, and plan to continue that.  I
    work in semi-precious stones primarily, and doubt I will ever do
    much with really expensive stones - I just don't see that as a
    market I can reasonably expect to reach.  So I'm not sure if the
    top-of-the line systems might not be overkill for me. 

All advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Beth in SC
