I'll definitely try it when ACS gets some in, but may end up thinking both is the right answer.

Yes, I'm using both as I'm working on this model. I just put fresh 150 on one of the small GP sanders and 220 on the other.
The Great Planes units are ~2 1/4 inches wide. The Estes one is 2 3/4 inches wide. I'm finding on Amazon that there are lots of rolls of sticky-back sandpaper that are 2 3/4 inches wide. So I'll just have to decide what one or two grits I will want for this thing in the long run, I guess.
