Love my pe8. For intracut polishing a rotary is much easier to control and much smoother IMO

IMO I prefer the 75e. I have the big boy rotary with 2inch backing plate and extension for precision power and cut. I use the rupes mini pretty much every time I correct paint for 'edging' where I cant get into with my 3401 or 21es.

IMO I would go with the Rupes LHR 75E.
I am a Flex guy too!!
IMO you will have more options to correct than the PE8. The PE8 is limited to 3" and no more than 4" Pads. Granted it is a rotary. I had one and sold it as I could not master the rotary technique as well as my DA technique.
I was limited in what I could do with the PE8. That is just me; you might be able to handle a rotary better than I did...heck anyone could!!....LOL
Most of us on AGO do very well in working with a DA and that is why I think the Rupes is the way to go.
Again, if it were me, I would get the Rupes.

I totally agree:
And I own both machines. You have more flexibility with the Rupes Mini. If you can buy both, that's an option. If you need to choose between the two, Rupes Mini is the way to go.

IMO:
Although the Flex PE8 Rotary can be outfitted with
different backing plate/pad sizes; and extension(s):
FLEX Rotary Backing Plates 1, 2, 3 Inch Diameter
FLEX PE8 Rotary Foam Pads 1, 2, 3 Inch Diameter
Rotary Backing Plate Extension

You'd probably be better served by
buying/using the RUPES LHR 75E DA.

Re: Flex PE8 OR THE RUPES LHR 75E..
I'm kind of at the same crossroads myself. I detail professionally and currently have a flex 3401, griots gg6 with 3 inch plates and an old Milwaukee rotary. I'm looking for better in tight spots and can't decide on the rupes or just doing the pe8 or pe14 with extensions. I'm just hoping to wake up one day and know so I can stop reading threads all day.
