In that last two weeks, I have purchased both a 15 Mk II and a 3401. Granted, my experience with both of them has been limited but I have no problem saying that they're two different animals. The Rupes is so incredibly refined and smooth, it's just a total joy to use. The Flex on the other hand is a beast that will probably cut through anything that you throw at it with the proper pad. After a few hours of usage, I was tired and my arms were getting sore but man oh man does it have some cojones.
I am doing a full correction in the next few weeks on a highly neglected 06 Ford Focus. The car belongs to my Fiance's Grandmother and it has sat outside it's entire life and only sees two or three automatic washes a year. I will be making an initial attack with the 3401 and once I cut through all the oxidation, I'll be making a 2nd pass with the Rupes to polish and finish it out.
