Like what? You can get this with 2 backing plates, 3 pads and 4oz bottles of v32/v34/v36/v38 for $199. That seems like a good deal, especially when I factor in the MT300 (other one I'm looking at) has quite a few reports of the power cord giving out after just a few uses. From your other posts here you clearly don't like this unit. But I haven't read anything bad about it really.

I know machines like the Flex, Boss & Rupes are much better, but they are all close to twice the price. And from what I've read the cheaper options like the GG6 and PC are much less smooth.

The GG6 is actually pretty smooth and has enough power to tackle most projects, probably the best bang for your buck. I have two!

I have heard that, but the few people I"ve chatted with who've used both said the Torq's way smoother and leads to a lot less fatigue when you use it for extended periods. And even if both are very similar smoothness wise, I'd probably go with the Torq over GG6 for ergonomics alone. The GG6 looks like it would be uncomfortable for long sessions. I know it's highly regarded with detailers and will be on my short list of potential DA's I get.
