[Shotimes] OT-Air Tool question

I recently bought a Sears Craftsman air compressor (6hp/30 gallon/upright) and am now looking at air tools. 
I want to get a die grinder (1/4 collet, 22K-25K RPM) and see a wide range of prices.  Harbor Freight carries
Campbell Hausfeld and Central Pneumatic in the $20-25 range and Ingersoll-Rand for a bit more.  The Sears
Craftsman brands I've seen are in the $60-75 range.  My main job for the grinder is to do a light port and polish
on some heads for my '68 VW.

I know you "get what you pay for" but I doubt I'll be using the grinder enough to justify the Sears price. Are any
of you familiar with the Campbell Hausfeld or Central Pneumatic brands?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Norman
