I have never used the Rupes Mini so I cannot comment. I can comment on the GG3 because I USED to have one. It runs very hot (almost too hot to touch), is very loud (louder than any other DA I have used), and has barely enough power to correct.

I donated my GG3" and converted my PC7424XP into a Mini DA. So if it were me...spend the extra cash and go STRAIGHT to the Rupes Mini. I have read nothing BUT great things about it.

Hands down the best 3" electric DA on the market today.

The Rupes 75E is basically a Duetto set up for a 3" backing plate. Should should have good power.

It has amazing power. I feel like it corrects faster than my Rupes 21. Obviously you wouldn't use it on a large flat panel the way you would with a 21, but it is effortless to correct the areas I use it on.

Unless you run a nail salon the gg3 is useless.

It won't correct anything. In fact I have tried to sell my practically new unit and have zero takers. It's useless for paint correction.

I did a full size sedan with the Mini 2 step just because I can.:props:

Way cool to see you are getting that. Right now, I will be keeping my PC as it has done very well for me when it comes to correcting. Additionally, I have the Flex PE8 to help correcting. HOWEVER, Please let me know what you think about the Rupes Mini. From 1 PC owner to another your input would be greatly appreciated.

Santa Claus may be good to me!!
