I own the GG6 and like it quite a bit. Good to know that the HF DA would work well above the PC, so I won't feel bad about buying it and using 3 inch BP on it.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is the size of the shroud around the dual action mechanism. When using a 5" or 6" BP, it is irrelevant but when using a 3" BP, the shroud can have a big effect on the usability in tight spots. The GG6 and megs G110v2 have an oversized shroud when compared to the 7424xp and HF DA which makes the latter 2 much more usable in tight areas.
If you want more correcting power for tight spots than the GG mini can produce (or if it's not available which is our issue down here), then the DA's with the smaller shroud are a better choice.
BTW Shouldn't this thread be in the DA forum?

I agree
My old PC works great with 3" pads and has decent visibility around the shroud
My FLEX would be much more difficult to use 3" pads, as the larger mechanism would block the view
One solution to the visibility issue with the other DA's is adding an extension, like the Hernandez Polisher or using a DA to Rotary adapter and a taller rotary BP
