The baby drum is a better machine from what I hear and read, but, if you plan to use your sander for other work such as cabinetry, etc., like I do, then the open end allows you to double the width of your work to about 20 inches.

The 10" is built like a tank, easy to adjust, the paper is inexpensive, comes on a moveable stand and costs less.

If it effects your decision any the baby drum Sanders won't be in stock at grizzly until June 9th, pretty sure the 10 inch are readily available from multiple retailers.
