    Which one?

    Hey, I'm looking to buy a polisher. If you had to pick between the Porter Cable, Griots, or Meguiars new one what would you pick and why? Please help me out as I am very confused. I am kind of leaning twards meguiars because of the replaceable brushes. But I like the Porter Cable also. Griots is cheaper though.

    Re: Which one?

    If money wasnt an issue Id go:

    Flex DA
    Porter Cable XP
    Cyclo (not because it isnt as good as Flex or PC its just different)

    and then the others....

    If money IS an issue i would go with a PCXP. They are on sale right now and you cant go wrong with it.

    I have used a Ultimate Detailing Machine ( a modified PC) for 2.5 years and I have a makita rotary coming my way. Im looking to sell my UMD and get a new PCXP. Id be willing to sell my UDM for 50 plus shipping....

    Flex is top of the heap indeed but expensive, if cost was a factor I would grab the Griots due to its power and many positive reviews over the PC-XP. It seems to have slightly better performance, but PC offers a long term positive reviews on the original PC which lasts for years and years.

    I just purchased a Griot's 6" ROP. I was torn between the three (Megs G110v2, PCXP, Griot's). The reasons that I chase was:
    1. Griots has more power
    2. Lifetime warranty
    From what I have read, you can't go wrong with any of these models. However, if price is not an issue, most would say go with the Flex.
