What pads can I use with the Flex

I am looking at buying a Flex light weight polisher and I see that the pad size in the specs is 6.3in. What I am wondering is can I use my DA 6.5in Lake Country pads on this machine or do I need to buy different pads? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

I use Lake Country CCS Pads, and there is an adapter available to use the EDGE pads as well.

What I am concerned about is using a pad from my PC7424 on the flex rotary and having it come apart and damage the paint.

megs just came out with the new 2.0 soft buff pads in the 7" size (machine washable as well), and these look like they will fit the bill with the Flex...
