Dremel question

Dremel question
Posted in
Custom WorkstationJust starting out with customizing (dabbled with it a few years ago, but never finished anything), and I'm finding out quick that the little hand-held rotary hobby tool that I purchased a few years back just isn't cutting it. The motor is extremely underpowered. So I've decided to go ahead and invest in a Dremel, because everyone here seems to love theirs so much, and I hate hate HATE the little POS I have.
My question is, what is the best Dremel model when it comes to customizing and affordability? I don't necessarily need a cordless (most of my work will be done about a foot from an outlet); I just need it to be as cheap as possible, but still powerful enough to get the job done. Opinions?
Thanks in advance!

At the same time, sometimes it works perfectly- I used a cutting wheel to slice right through a hard plastic neck, and at times it was just tearing right through like a madman, and then at times it wouldn't hardly even groove the plastic without stopping. It's just frustrating, but as it's what I currently have, I'm getting the job done with it, lol. Just looking towards replacing it with something more reliable.
They're only like $500
I restarted a project I was going to do a long time ago- close to 10 years ago- and I'd mention the name, but I'd rather post it as a surprise down the road. Before I was doing it smaller scale, like McFarlane figure scale, but now I'm using a Ruthless Aggression William Regal (on clearance at Toys R Us, lol) and I'm amazed at how much easier it is to work on a slightly larger, more articulated scale. The generic dremel, while a pain, has helped me out quite a bit, and I can only imagine that a better one would stomp butt.
Of course, it wouldn't even be remotely possible without the tutorials and resources here at FigureRealm- I'm just hoping he turns out as well as I'm planning.
