The verdict
You either have the sander or you don't.
Mirka Gold is the disc assortment you buy when there's already a random orbital on the bench and you want better paper on it. The Orbital Sander Disc Bundle includes a sander, the backing pad, and a starter range of discs — everything plugged in and turning the same afternoon. They aren't competing for the same buyer. They're competing for the same shopping list.
Pick Mirka if
You already own a 5-inch random orbital. You're upgrading what goes on it.
Pick 5-Inch if
No sander yet. You want one box to get sanding the day it lands.
