1. Weight(body only): Bosch (1229g), Dewalt(1037.5g)
2. Dewalt can apply a universal accessory adapter (default included) to connect a star-lock cutter.
For DIY or wants to save $$, would recommend the Dewalt.
I have over 60 OIS blades bought over the years that cannot be used with the Bosch however. There are three OIS to Starlock adapters available, all made by folks in their garages. I bought one for $45 plus shipping. Worked kind of for about five cuts. No good. The Starlock has a 3d interface designed to allow higher power transfer between the tool and the blade, using an OIS adapter made the adapter the weakest link. At any power higher then 4 on the dial the blade will loosen suddenly and the OIS adapter becomes worn even though it was made of steel. I threw the adapter away. Do not use those adapters, good idea and may be only feasible for low speed sanding. Aggressive cutting with an adapter is not going to end well.
