Default Dremel 4000 - buy or not to buy?

I wanted to get some advice before I buy a Dremel. I assume it is the 4000 or a cordless 8200. Are there any better imitators about or is this about as good as it gets. I am going to use it to remove individual tiles from the shower cubicle as some have cracked and as the water is seeping in and so more expansion and cracking.

It is driving me mad. I have other uses for it too so hopefully not a complete waste of money.

Any comments from users - ?

Would that be a saw that is not moving or should I try a Stihl?

Personally think Dremel worth the extra £, had mine now(not a 4000?) for over 15yrs - no problems - Fantastic
...you'll find yourself polishing and cutting things you didn't know you had - mine has helped rebuild a Norton Commando & 90% of a Westfield amongst other things (there wasn't a-get-a-life smilie)

Cheers KarbonKid, it is probably a little more erganomic to use within the confines of a shower cubicle whether I am standing still/Stihl or not and even if on the phone .

They're really handy for a spot of polishing on the oil filter housing and Vanos unit too...
