Nice sale for anyone looking to get their hands on the 3401. If you do, make sure to pick up the Hybrid pads. This setup is the bee's knee's.

They also wont rush something to release it, basically, if its not absolutely ready, they dont release it until it is.

This is also why it took so long for Flex to join the free floating large orbit polisher segment.

The XFE 15 was in development for years.

All of the above is absolutely correct.

Thanks for sharing Jaret.

[QUOTE=Nick@Autogeek;1367530]XCE weights slightly less, has improved ergonomics and is a little quieter.

Don't you think that's a little harsh Mark?

Not really.

I do agree FLEX puts out very high quality tools. However, would you have put it up on the site for pre-order if you knew it would be delayed 9 MONTHS?? I repeat, delayed *9* months. Especially, for a product that's nearly the same as the current. Very strange to me.

Yeah, except it's not "up on the site for pre-order". I've said this before, this is part of the problem with the SEMA show, it's an industry show, not a consumer show, and was originally to allow buyers to see products for the following year. But because of the internet and social media, civilians get to see everything that goes on at SEMA, and expect this stuff to be available RIGHT NOW.

I don't believe Flex made any promises about when either of the new machines was going to be available, so you could look at the glass half full and be happy the long stroke machine is already in-stock at Autogeek.

Setec, you're always the voice of sanity.

Ha ha, being the sane one in a group of OCD detailers doesn't say much, does it? Thanks, though.

Ordered up a new 3401 HD last night along with more hybrid pads!!! This is a killer deal to me. Also went for the 128 oz size of HD Speed. Getting ready for the summer season.
