I've been using the Mastercarver with the Micro-pro hand piece for small rotary carving,
Use Foredoms for larger, sometimes a reciprocial carver - but often use hand carving chisels, files, several knives, and a variety of rasps. Depends. When I get in a carving mood I get out everything.
I do keep bits in several Dremels mostly for texturing spindles, but they are bulky to hold/use without attaching the flex shaft.
