    I don't need a lot of cutting power. All my vehicles are newer and kept in good condition. I need most versatile polisher. My polisher will just be for personal use

    I would hope so... thats the backing plate size it comes with if you ask around (kidding)

    Enjoy it! Give it a try with the stock plate as well and provide feedback on the difference in feel. I think so many times we (the RUPES guys) preach the 'don't mod' mentality, but rarely do we get any comparative reviews of how users like their tool modded vs. un-modded. Most guys mod and never try the tool as it was designed. For our own education its good to hear user feedback on the difference in feel - we already know people like the size for a number of reasons.

    Will do.

    Let's take the Mark II 21 with a 5" BP, will it feel less smooth/balanced vs. the 6" plate?

    Couple photos of my first few sections polished with my Rupes 15 Mark II, B&S maroon pad and Sonax perfect finish. 4 section passes. Only polished the right fender and c-pillar.

    I won't try to influence you either way - just try both and report back your thoughts.

    When we say that RUPES listens to customers we mean it. The feedback we collect in the market it always shared up stream and if they feel there is a way to improve user experience or performance then its considered and we try to make it happen.
