I finally broke down and bought one. It sat around truck in my after playing with it for a while. Then one day, working at a new restaurant, I had to make a hole for the beverage line that the architect forgot to spec. Underneath the back-bar, way up in the corner, a 5" hole was needed. The hole didn't need to be pretty as it would be completely unseen. Through two layers of 3/4" plywood, a 1" space between them, and a layer of 5/8" sheet rock. On the other side of the sheet rock was a 2 x 6 turned flat against the sheet rock. I got my huge Milwaukee with a 5" hole saw out and was on my way when I remembered the Multimaster in the truck. I gladly took the Milwaukee back (not much fun drilling 5" holes with that thing - easy to break a wrist). The electrician who was near laughed when I got the MM out and put a 1" blade on. The blade is only about 2" long but I cut the plywood first, then the sheet rock, and then the 2 x 6. It took almost 10 minutes, much of which was me trying to fit into the space and set up the light to see what I was cutting. It is also great when doing flooring (plunge cutting, cutting the bottom of jambs and trim out of the way, etc.) I am now sold on it and have used it many times cutting things that would have been a real challenge without it. BTW, the electrician now has one too.
And yes, they are too expensive but worth every penny. My only gripe is that the blades are way expensive too. I hope that someone will make blades that will fit it soon. It is noisy and I usually wear ear protection when using it, always when in a tight space. Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.
