I ended up getting a Dewalt which so far is pretty good. Was a bit pricier than the Ryobi's but HD didn't have the Ryobi's in stock

Also, update to my blown up Ryobi:
After looking around the web to see if anyone else experienced a blown out motor in their sander, there has been a recall on it. Spoke with Ryobi last Friday and they will ship out a new one today "once there is evidence I sent it back" Yes, that really happened.

If anyone doesn’t want to sink a lot of money into a random orbital, the Black & Decker BDERO100 gets great reviews and is only $30.

I usually steer away from B&D, but I purchased this one because of price and reviews and I’ve been happy with it and hasn’t blown up on me yet.

Next time you're in the market for a RO or belt sander, go look at BigSkyTool website for the refurb Hitachi stuff. I got a 5" RO for under $25 and it's every bit as good as my Dewalt sander. I picked up the 3x21 belt sander for $70 too, they have the same model in Grade C for $50 right now.
