Share the link to the write-up here please. I have so many articles on so many things I can't always find or remember what's where.
In a nutshell,
If I want to go as fast as I can to plow through a car I use the BEAST.
If I want to go fast but it's not vital to plow through the car I use the Supa BEAST.
If I'm not in a hurry or doing something like machine applying a wax or sealant I use the CBEAST
The lighter, quieter, cooler running Supa BEAST is my preferred option for these three characteristics.
I detailed a car on Friday and Saturday and for both cars I used the Supa BEAST.

It does not have the same maximum RPM or OPM as the original.
BEAST = 480 RPM and 9,600 OPM
Supa BEAST = 430 RPM and 8,600 OPM
CBEAST = 380 RPM and 7,600 OPM
Here's my take, if I REALLY want to bust out a job and plow through it as fast as humanly possible I use the BEAST. If not trying to hit Warp Speed - I grab the Supa Beast, much more enjoyable to use. If I have an easy job, that means the car has only light swirls, scratches, etc. and I'm not in a hurry then I grab the CBEAST.
Best pads I've found for the BEAST and Supa BEAST are either the Lake Country 6.5" Force Hybrid Pads, I can pretty much do anything with Orange, White and Black.
I also really like the RUPES 7" foam pad, in all colors, just depends on the project. For polishing gel-coat - the blue and green. For polishing car paint - the yellow and white. I like the TAPERED edge on the RUPES pads as it works well with the reach and buffing characteristics of the gear-driven 8mm tool action.
For the CBEAST - at this time I don't think there's a PERFECT pad for this tool but I do like the Buff & Shine Uro-Tech pads.

And for those reading this into the future, here's the link to the reply I wrote with the above info in the seconded quoted section above.
Anyone have experience with the new corded XCE compared to the 3401?
