So with black friday I’ve found a Nano Longneck onsale for $470 tax/shipping for the systainer kit… normally $630.

A PiXiE runs about $370 all in tax and shipping but with no pads.

I’ve decided against less expensive machines so if you could choosr only 1 of the 2 what would it be and why?

Note: pricing for flex is from AG when the have a polisher sale which usually shows up in next 2 weeks.

The other is non Autogeek but will check with them as they do PM.

I have a Pixie as well and like it but I’ve never used an iBrid Nano to compare. The only attachments I miss that the iBrid has are the brushes. The Pixie has plenty of power to spin 3.5” pads.

This is the first time in a long time that I have seen Rupes offer black friday deals on the ibrid.

I have both and I use the ibrid more than the PXE. Both have their place and having both is the best option.

A copy is never as good as the original.

I ordered an Ibrid long today so I will be able to directly compare soon enough.

Now that every site and their mom has the duetto and the ibrid on sale i wonder if these are being discontinued/replaced or if just sales are slow.

Not all rupes on sale

One of my biggest complaints is i figured for the price they’d switched to a brushless motor.

Probably still gonna order… been on a black friday bender….
