Each one of those on its own is pretty handy but I wouldn't recommend getting a 2-in-1 of the both of them.  Ask around, you probably know someone with a 1" belt sander who hasn't used it for years and has no intent of using it again.

I have found that a scroll saw , overall , mite be the handyiest tool of all. Of course, That mite just be me. I love mine. I found it at a flea market for 20.00$  Its great for all those other arty / crafty things around the house. Iv been hunting for a belt / disk sander, but so far no luck. [Largely because Im a titewad.]
The blades are cheap and with balsa, they seem to last forever. I am currently useing a 18 t.p.i. [ teeth per inch.] It will cut fast, but if I move slow enough, it doesnt tear out the back side. I have cut up to 7/16 , down to 1/32. With 1/32 it is just as well to use scissors.
You dont need a big fancy one. The new ones run about 120 $ but used, older stuff is about half or less. Check estate sales, flea markets, craigs list, ect.
