If you eat chicken every day and want change in your diet you don't say "gimme that other chicken" you say "gimme steak".

This is true for those that have been doing this for a while but for a new comer, this is where here niche is filled.

It's going to have a lifetime warranty too. My G100 failed me and I had a new one in less than 3 days after sending my old one in!

If it turns out to be more of the same (similar specs / similar vibrations) I do not see anybody benefitting from it (except Meguiar's, of course). We all know how lifetime warranties work. In my opinion casual users (which is majority of newcomers) do not use machine in a manner / intensity that should result in breakdown outside the first year. Those that will most likely have a need for it are ones that do this intensively. And those that do this intensively can be better off by looking at alternatives that would let them work faster and with less stress on the body as total "savings" of that is in my impression much higher than what would be of lifetime warranty.

Strange how Porter Cable would give them two model numbers when all that's differant is the counter wgt. which cost almost nothing right here on AG. Just seems to make more out of a small item like counter wgts. then needs to be. Oh well, it's probably just me.

It is just you. If you take a look at packaging content of PC7424 vs. PC7336SP you will realize difference in counterweight is not the only thing different. Every manufacturer out there gives two different part numbers and/or models to two different variations. Tool is just one part of it.
