Differences between Rupes Nano Long Neck and Short Neck?
I am keen to get the Rupes Nano but if I have to choose between the long neck and short neck, which one would it be? I havent had chance to hands on any of it so it is really hard to visualize what kind of situation would long neck be more useful over the short neck and vice versa. Any advice?

We'll be using both the long neck and the short neck tonight on an old 2-door Chevy.

I'll take some action shots of both and post them tomorrow.

The more time I spend with them I tend to like the short neck version better. Just feels a little more maneuverable and precise, but thats really splitting hairs. They both perform the same, just comes down to whether you want the extended reach of the long neck or not.

I think so too. Isnt a more compact design better in small area like buffing/scrubing inside a car or if you need to do extremely precise buffing. I thought i am missing something here since apparently the long neck is so much more popular.

The extended reach just made more sense to me for getting into more places so I got the long neck. If I need super compact I use pneumatic.

Thanks for the input! Pneumatic is great but the Nano battery feature is really a handy one. Any examples of areas where the long neck could reach and the short neck couldn't? Off my mind I could think off is squeezing in between areas where the slightly longer shaft helps.

Just to chime back in....
Here's some great shots of the short neck in action!
The RUPES iBrid in ACTION! - Thin panels and tight areas!

Those pictures help a lot. Able to visualize better now. If i were to 'split hairs', short neck looks a little more maneuverable on the I pillar and it seems long neck probably works better on the bumper where plenty of squeezing is needed. Thank you Mike!

I've not run into that situation yet but I thought of the side fins on a Testarossa when I made my purchase. Plenty of scenarios on exotics I'm sure.
