yeah..at most it's a 1 pass difference in correction main benefits would just be smoothness/lack of vibration, and ergonomics/balanced tool
not sure if the Mille will widen that gap in correction ability or not

I agree. I've gotten used to the 3401. I think it may be more forgiving as to the different types of pads you can use. The Makita seemed to be pretty picky.

So far I've only used Buff n shine Low pros and LC thin pros with the Makita
May buy and try LC HDO or perhaps the 3D Spider pads
My assessment so far is thickness doesn't seem to matter on how smooth the machine works...but pad stiffness has an effect on control/walk

The Mille isn't released yet, so testing or video will have to wait for its release. Some prototypes/pre-release units may be out there for trials/testing, but I don't think you will get videos of those units until such time as Rupes officially releases the Mille.
