Re: Tough Decision..... a little help please
I have a Megs and my roomate has a PC. I have used both and I personally like the Megs... because its mine haha just kidding... but I feel there is less vibration in the handles and machine. Other than that they work equally as well. I dont know if that helps
Peace

Go with the griots. I hear it works real nice and has more power. I have the old PC and plan on getting a griots, to go with my flex 3401

The Griot Garage is alot more power full the the PC. The Griot Garage is more like the Flex DA but smaller more compact and easier to use. It is powerfull enougth to power a 6'' pad with is pretty impressive for a DA. Since you are knew to a DA I would recommand the Pinnacle Advance Swirl Remover, Pinnacle Advance Polish, and Pinnacle Liquid Souveran (I believe that is on of the kits) or Wolfgnag 3.0 TSR, Wolfgang 3.0 Finishing glaze, and Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant. These are great kit to start off and learn with. Both kits work very well and are very easy to use.

2,500 - 6,800 Orbits Per Minute
Variable Speed, Wider RPM Range
Wider 5/16" orbit pattern for faster and better results
Ergonomic Adjustable Handle
More Torque, Better Performance
Longer 10 Foot Power Cord
Backing plate included
FLEX features:
Maximum polishing pad diameter 160 mm or 6.3 inches
10 amp motor
