The curves I have show different specs than what you describe. The chalupa peak efficiency is at 4000 RPM @ 142 watts out while the Bosch is 9000 RPM @ 376 watts out. If you compare the two motors at 2000RPM the chippy is making way more power at 321 watts while the drill is only making 184 watts. If you are looking for a high RPM motor than the Bosch appears to better suited for you needs.
