Either as they are all basically the same thing.

I have a 7424 and it's fairly easy to use. I haven't tried the other two, but I've heard great things about the Griot's DA. If I were to pick one, I'd go with the Griot's for the simple reason that it is much more powerful than the other two and has a wider range of correcting ability. I also heard their costumer service was A++. That never hurts.:dblthumb2:

I know you didn't mention it but what about the Flex 3401???

When I had to choose between PC, Griot, Meg, I like Griot life time warranty. It does a great job and is very versatile.

I like my Griots. Can't give any feedback on the others though, since I've never used them.

I'm not a big fan of the DAs...but, I have a PC and it does a good job applying wax, and sealant. For a beginner...I think any DA is a good idea. They all seem to have a following, so they probably all have their plus sides. :dblthumb2:

I only went with the PC cause it's been around the block and back. I like reliable tools!

I have the Porter Cable 7424. It's a nice machine and preforms well. It's size makes it very handy for those tight areas and it's right at home with 5 1/2 foam pads.

I have no experience with the other two however they do get high scores from actual users.

I also have a Flex 3401 and there's little comparison between the two. The Flex 3401 is in a league of its own...:props:

I have an old PC 7336, a Cyclo, and the new Griot's with the extended length cord. The Griot's has replaced the Cyclo as my favorite but all have their uses. The Griot's has considerably more power than the other two and does serious correction much more quickly. That, coupled with the lifetime warranty make it a winner and the one I recommend. It even comes with spare motor brushes.

I have the PC 7424 XP and the Griot's and I prefer the PC, it has a more solid feel to it.
