I will collaborate more for beginners here and have few links for them to read. Hopefully it will give them much better idea before buying anything.

Also for beginners i would suggest to go for oversize around 110, head light (for less shocks for your arm). I am looking for Head Liquidmetal 8 for power (since it is oversize) and bit control too.
