Very nicely done, indeed. The secret to a tool that can be held and manipulated like a pencil is a high speed DC motor with the power source distanced from the tool; no batteries and an AC to DC converter in a wall wart with a light-weight, low drag cable to the tool.
Dremel finally woke up and put together their model 2050...

which embodies these design ideas but means buying yet another tool.
The Dremel flexible shaft was never great and, like all flex shafts, interfered with fine control of the tool because of its stiffness. Folks who have that flex shaft should seriously consider converting it as you have done.
