That being said, both polishers are capable of turning the same size pad at the same rpm (up to 2100rpm, I wouldn't go above that anyway).
The only variable left in that "equation" is your arm speed and polisher weight. Arm speed should not be governed by which polisher you are using.
Otherwise, the 3.2lbs extra might help you break down polish on horizontal panels, but gives you more of a burden on vertical panels. I would think this difference would balance out the time savings.
Everyone has there own technique and learned from someone. I followed his technique and had success.

i skimmed through the videos and the junkman was using the flex 3401, not the flex rotary. so maybe thats where the confusion is coming from. i just bought the PE14 myself and trying to pick up a few tips on it.

All good. The 3401 is really nice in it's own respect, though!

Thanks all for the replies, I plan on picking up a Flex just to entertain my own curiousity.
