What ever happened to the XCE? It's still not on the AG site.

I told them to name the free spinning, the "Orbit." It would have cleared up any name confusion.

None of their polishers names make any sense..

I noticed the arrows on the head of both of these new machines pointing in a clockwise direction. Is the new forced rotation model a clockwise rotation? If so, that's a major improvement in my eyes.

The counter-clockwise rotation of the 3401 is something that kept me from ever seriously considering to buy one. I know that if you use it enough that you get the hang of it but that is something I never wanted to deal with. I've been using clockwise rotating polishers since the late 1960s and the counter-clockwise 3401 just seemed so wrong to me.

if i'm not mistaken, nothing has changed in the way it spins/rotates and is the same as the 3401...

Forgive me if I sound stupid, but what difference does it make if the 3401 rotates counter-clockwise? What's the con of using a counter-clockwise rotating DA as opposed to a clockwise?
