If that is the case I'll buy one too, as the non-starlock 240v models are hard to find.
Do you mind posting a picture of a saxton blade fitted, as I've was told they don't fit, and looking at pictures the mounting pins seem recessed on the machine body, whereas the saxton blade is flat.
(bosch shown here, but fein is the same)

After quickly looking into it, i think it depends upon date of manufacture of the tool. The one i bought today from topps fits my other blades fine(ptx blades) I'll upload pics now

i have the fein multimaster. it is great. but it is corded.
I have dewalt cordless tools so I got the multi tool. it has a quick change for the blades that allows you to swap and rotate the blades instantly. my fein takes 10 times longer and it has a quick change. you can also loose the fein parts if your carless. being able to rotate the blades seams pointless but it is a really noce feature that I use regularly to get into awkward spots
in the 2 years + I have the dewalt I haven't even considered bringing the fein.
the corded is better but not as handy. I use my cordless for all kinds of jobs that I wouldn't use the corded for.

Got an very old fein 250 which is still going strong and recently bought a Bosch at a fantastic price at local builders merchants. (Can't resist a bargain plus fein is twice as heavy now because of all the old addy/cement/etc on it)
Got to say very happy with the Bosch and lots of non Bosch blades fit it.

i will reach for the cordless for all kinds of small jobs but wouldn't bother getting the corded one even if it was in the van. I often get it to cut out floor boards (I work with a spark sometimes) cutting skirting and architraves, odd bit of sanding , scraping crap off stuff, removing grouting , cutting out electrical boxes for spark, cutting random bits of wood that are in the way of fitting something .
generally I will use the cordless or hand tools.
the corded isn't worth the hassle of getting out a cord. it is faster to just use hand tools.

I've just bought the 350 as it's supposed to be quieter and more powerful. It is quieter when it runs on its own but as soon as you start to cut it is still noisy as hell. Not sure about the power difference but is does seem to stay cooler than the 250. Unfortunately mine is the Starlock plus version so only Fein & Bosch make those blades. Let's see if Saxton and Shark come up with something soon
