RPM for RPM, the Mille is the most powerful. It has the highest orbit per revolution and OPM’s. It has almost double the orbits per revolution than the Makita. According to Todd Helme, correcting on a forced DA is best from 430 RPM - 490 RPM. So, the higher RPM of the Makita may actually go against you by creating too much heat.

RPM Range
RUPES Mille = 265 to 535
Makita PO5000C = 0 to 780
FLEX BEAST = 0 to 480
The above RUPES numbers taken from THIS review you're reading right now - go to the first page.
The Makita numbers taken from this review,

This is true. When stated RPM to RPM power, I was referring to the Makita and Mille because of their same orbit diameter. Does the higher RPM of the Makita make up for the lower OPM and orbits per revolution?

Copy that.

I don't know.
Sometimes all I do is get a buffer and buff with it and let my being let me know what's what.
