Yes, I've got the one with the rotary stop, 3 years old and still going strong, same batteries, and gets hammered on rewires for chasing boxes etc.
Been thinking I need a lighter one though, tennis elbow in both arms.... GRrrrr
The full fat version is the mutts! If the compact doesn't have rotary stop then I'd save up for the big one or settle for the 24V version. The 24V will likely be less money and have 2x 3Ah batteries for better run time.
