    More power, slightly different body design. Some members here have an older non XP model.

    I believe the XP also has a longer cord but biggest difference is the XP has a more powerful motor with regards to torque output.

    I have a 7424 that works great. Been thinking of upgrading to an xp but not sure if its worth it although i think they are reasonably priced. Maybe if I go to a rupes.

    I love the PC not much difference between the two models. If getting another DA on a budget get the GG. If looking for more power then the Rupes, if still more power and you don't have a rotary then get a rotary. On a budget get the Dewalt if not the Flex 14-2. If you want a hybred rotary/DA but technically still a DA because of the action then the Flex 3401. Basically unlimited power, yet safer than a rotary for those; "I lost concentration dumb moments you wish you could of had a do over moments". Come on now everbody who has used a rotary knows what I'm talking about
