In case anyone cares; reporting back on my previous juddering orbital sander when using dust extractor issue, got a dewalt DWE6423 as per @Soul recommendation to replace the Bosch Green PEX300 and problem is gone. I guess there is something inherent in the design with my old Bosch which doesn't like air being pulled through it.
I seem to be getting much smoother finishes with the dewalt too when using fine grit sand papers, not sure why, but I'll take it.
I think I've settled brand wise, it's Makita for all cordless stuff, or dewalt and festool for the rest. Never been disappointed by any of them.
