Not sure why? Doesn't have a strong following yet like other tools. The Flex is a better design in my opinion for a paint polisher. Easier to hold and work paint due to length of tool and ergo design.

It looks like a traditional D/A on steriods. Another thing, looks like you are stuck with just the one 6" plate.

I think the new rubberized polymer decontaminating tools, (towels, pads and blocks), can be more effective than clay, at least when I do the baggie test after using one of these alternatives the paint always seems to feel a lot cleaner/smoother.
Recently I found clay to be a better alternative for getting into tight areas or for claying things like louvers, grill vents, ornaments, etc.
So I think the old saying comes into play.
Use the right tool for the job
It's good to have access to multiple tools and then choose and use the appropriate tool for the job.

Somewhere on the forum I recently commented about the ergonomics of the BO6040 as compared to the ergonomics of the Flex 3401. Some good info...

It certainly wouldn't hurt but it's a time killer. To date I'm just wiping the paint clean after decontaminating a panel and doing a good job so there's no risk of any particulates getting into any machine polishing process.
If time is not an issue the a quick wash/rinse/dry is never a bad thing, except for the time thingy...
