Help me with new polisher Makita PO5000 or Flex3401
Never used it but didn’t seem to be very popular by members

It's better in every way
Corrects faster due to more RPM
Way smoother operation wise
Balanced better in general
Walks less die to smaller throw
Doesn't get hot anywhere your hands need to be
Can be turned into a 3in if need be
More ergonomic
Cost less to buy
I'd choose either over Rupes Mille though due to them both being built like tanks

I've used both 5mm gear-driven and 8mm gear-driven and I prefer 8mm gear-driven.
I find it faster and more powerful for doing major paint correction. If I found 5mm to be faster and more powerful I would use them. I have all 3 in the garage.
