Rupes quotes power output whereas Flex always quotes power input. Output of the Flex will be around 400W too. All three of the above mentioned tools are 3",5500 opm 400w output polishers making correction difference between them much over muchness. What will set them apart is NVH levels and ofcourse price.

As I have said before, this is a PE8 with a DA gearbox vs. a rotary gearbox. Motor specs are similar (but not exactly the same), and the lack of a variable speed trigger is exactly the same as a PE8.

Well I just sold an almost new Rupes 15 Mark II, maybe I'll buy one of these to compare to my mini and keep which ever one is better...
I'll definitely wait for a sale though.

Motor Specs wise on sheet got flex beat..def more comfy as its same body design ,but one has rubber..other doesnt
Flex orbit rate of 10800 has me intrigued..also like theirs starts under 2000 opm whereas 75e and sk mini starts at like 2500 opm
Re: IN STOCK - NEW FLEX XFE 7-12 80 aka the NEW FLEX 3" Mini Polisher
The price of this 3" polisher comes across as insulting to consumers; and as someone said previously pretty steep for a weekend warrior (in my words, hobbyist).
I'm very happy I purchased my Flex 3401 4 years ago and with the 4" backing plate. I rarely use my Griot's 3" polisher as a result. Clearly, my money moves elsewhere...
